We were equally honoured to welcome Nermine Khouzam Rubin, Founder and CEO of Water 4 Mercy, a visionary global humanitarian, author, and a Fortuna Global 100 Changemaker 2026.

The delegation spent valuable time with our Director, Fr. Jose, our trainers, and students, while experiencing firsthand the learning environment, classrooms, and practical workshops at Don Bosco Tech Kenya.

The visit provided an important opportunity to showcase how technical and vocational education and training (TVET) can equip young people with practical skills, confidence, and pathways toward meaningful employment and entrepreneurship.

From our classrooms to our workshops, the delegation witnessed the practical approach at the heart of our training learning by doing, building competence, and preparing young people for the world of work.

The presence of leaders working in diplomacy, humanitarian development, water access, innovation, and youth empowerment made the engagement particularly inspiring.
