Nuru Kenya Leadership Program Trainings in Photos: October 2014

Nuru Kenya Leadership Program’s main objective is to improve knowledge and skills to Nuru Kenya staff and help them gain an attitude that would help them relate well with farmers and manage their programs effectively and efficiently. Leadership does all these activities through training, mentorship, team building and capacity development.

Level 1: Facilitating Focus Project 1: a training that describes Nuru’s mission of ending extreme poverty and how each program contributes to achieving this mission.
