Nuru Kenya Leadership Program 2014 Achievements in Photos

Jane Omanga is the Program Manager for the Leadership Program. She has extensive experience in project management, counseling and social work. She is originally from Kisumu and is married with three children. She is happy to join us in the fight of eliminating extreme poverty in rural Kenya. Below, enjoy the photos she chose to showcase the amazing achievements of the Leadership Team through 2014!

The Leadership Program’s goal is to equip Nuru Kenya staff with knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will enable them to interact well with farmers to end extreme poverty (Nuru’s mission). These pictures illustrate some of the program’s activities this year.

The first two photos are of Leadership Training Officers (TO) taking the Education Coordinators (EC) and Facilitators (EF) through an orientation program on leadership activities. The team covered all Level 1 lessons to help them gain insights into what is expected of the EFs during leadership training.

The next two photos are of the leadership staff during the staff retreat and team building at Mount Longonot. The team went through challenges where the vehicle got stuck; the team had to come together to overcome such challenges. We were determined because of our team spirit and teamwork.

In this exercise, groups worked together to rewrite the problem statement of a case study of a fictitious project called Golden Harvest. They produced a more accurate and thorough problem statement in order to improve the program model’s design.
