Kenyan Leadership Institute

The Kenyan Leadership Institute is one of several national leadership institutes which have been founded by graduates of the International Institute for Global Leadership (www.global-leadership.com). The purpose of these institutes is to use the IIGL studies to specifically develop leadership at the local and national level with an emphasis on the specific concerns and issues of each region.
There are currently more than 40 students in Kenya, 23 of which have registered since August of 2023 We envision expanding our work beyond just recruiting new students to offering opportunities for students to come together to discuss the ideas they have learned and how we might work together to have an even greater impact of the future of leadership in Kenya at all levels of society. We are planting seeds for a positive future here in Kenya, with better educated, highly conscious leaders with high integrity and commitment to service and the highest good. Here is a small sampling of our current students:

Francis Maundu
My name is Francis Maundu Joseph, I am in my first year of university studies thanks to the help of the Planetary Transformation Project. I live with my mother who is a single mother trying all means to see that I have a bright future. I am studying to be an engineer. Based on my own experience and struggles I have a passion for assisting the less fortunate in the society. I know that hardship makes us strong through the struggles my family go through to make us get food on the table and also see that we get quality education it makes me feel for my many of my friends who cannot afford to go to school. I know that many of them, if they had a chance, could be very important people in the society. But so many of them have this potential wasted through drug abuse and in crime. I want to help such people in our society so they can meaningful lives. Through my IIGL studies I have broaden my skills and knowledge and hope to contribute to better leadership here in Kenya.
Francis Maundu – Profile

Jamila Musa
My name is Jamila Musa. I am the eldest of six siblings in a family of mixed marriage. My mother is married to a Muslim so I have been lucky to mix with Christian and Muslims all my life. I am a teacher in one of our local private schools. I have had life-long passion for being a teacher, following in my mothers footsteps who is now retired. Attaining equal rights and equality are major challenges in the world today. People have been denied opportunities because of their gender, race and ethnicity. There are people, especially young women, with good ideas but because of discrimination they are not given a chance to offer their views and skills. For this reason I have a special passion for empowering women who have been sidelined for so long from meaningful leadership. We have so much potential to offer our nation and the leadership skills that I am acquiring with my IIGL studies are empowering me to take my place as a leader in both my local community and here in Kenya.

Kibet Keterm
My name is Kibet Methusela Keter, and I am 21 years old and currently a student at the University of Kabianga, where I just completed my second year, pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Education Arts: English and Literature. I consider myself a go-getter, and I work incredibly hard, especially when it comes to my academic pursuits. I am participating in the IIGL program because I want to develop a deeper understanding of global issues and it provides me with a platform to explore complex international challenges and gain a more nuanced perspective on global economics and cross cultural dynamics. I also want to learn more about leadership and communication skills and to gain exposure to diverse perspectives and the practical application of knowledge.
I envision a world that is characterized by justice, compassion, and a deep respect for human dignity, where no one is left behind. It pains me to see the immense potential of the African continent being squandered due to greed and poor leadership. This is why I aspire to be part of the positive change and offer hope to the people of Africa. I am an avid reader, and I particularly enjoy books that focus on personal growth and development. I find great inspiration in books that teach readers how to become the best version of themselves and cultivate self-confidence. At the core of my being, I believe that I am in this world for a purpose, and I am driven to discover and fulfill that purpose. I am passionate about being part of the positive transformation and development of Africa, offering hope and solutions to the continent’s challenges. It is my sincere desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others and contribute to the creation of a better future for all.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I have also been actively involved in various extracurricular activities, including organizations that work to create awareness on important issues such as HIV/AIDS, teenage pregnancies, risky sexual behaviors, and behavior change education. I am also a peer educator, sharing my knowledge and experiences with my peers on several issues.

Kisilu Kalu
I am Kisilu Kalu, the third born in a family of six, three boys and three girls. I am married to one wife and have three children. I hold a diploma in sales and marketing I have worked in various companies including private companies as a sales manager and gained enough experience that made me to start my own business. I have a registered company of automotive spare parts that I have employed six employees.
After gaining my experience I decided to start my small business of selling spare parts. This is the 15th year in my self employed job. I encourage young people to consider self employment since employment is an issue in our country and starting your own business will create jobs for many people who are unemployed.
I undertook the IIGL studies in order to increase my skills and to help me know how to solve conflict as well as help me empower other youths to understand the good way of governance and taking responsibilities in our society.
As I see it the most pressing problem we have today in Kenya and much of the world is corruption. This is a killer disease that destroys the economy of a country. Corruption should be treated as a treat to the world and people who are corrupt should be held accountable and face justice.
