Kabarak University's Chapel resonated with joy and reverence this Wednesday, marking a pivotal moment for our diligent finalists. Having completed their academic journey, they led a heartfelt dedication service—a powerful testament to our commitment to "Education in Biblical Perspective" and a blessed send-off into their next chapter.

On July 18, 2025, students from Kabarak University’s Nakuru City Campus and KABU TVET Institute came together in a vibrant celebration of unity and wellness during a well-organized Sports Day. The event offered students a much-needed opportunity to unwind and recharge through physical activity, just weeks before their end-of-semester examinations. Beyond being a recreational break, the event underscored the importance of sports in promoting both physical health and mental well-being.

In a powerful act of unity, mentorship, and community love, Kabarak University brought more than just a visit to Muserechi Secondary School in Baringo County on Saturday, 12th July 2025 - they brought family, fire, and a future-focused message that will echo in the hearts of students for years to come. The outreach was led by Kabarak’s dynamic student-led groups — Kabarak Empowerment Club, Kabarak St. John’s, Kabarak Red Cross, and the ever-passionate Smile for Smile Initiative, a community-based organization founded by Kabarak alumni and 2023’s Mr. and Miss Kabarak, Austine Itebete and Kelio Sharon. From the moment the Kabarak team arrived, the atmosphere was electric — laughter danced across the hills of Baringo as music, mentorship, and moments of joy unfolded. Students quickly warmed up to their guests, drawn by the relatability and authenticity of the young mentors before them — many of whom once sat in similar classrooms, with similar dreams.  Mentorship With Meaning The day featured interactive sessions centered around: Menstrual Hygiene Awareness Mental Wellness The Power of Education Personal Growth and Purpose These weren’t just talks — they were conversations. The mentors opened up about their own journeys, their struggles, and their wins, showing the students that where you start does not define where you end up. Bonding Beyond Books Learning happens not just in books, but in laughter, in listening, in being seen. After the mentorship, it was time to connect in a different language — fun. Students and mentors shared games, sang songs, played football and shared meals. In these simple but profound moments, mentorship took on a new form: belonging. A Gift with Purpose To crown the day, each student received a Smile Education Pack — filled with: Exercise books Pens Mathematical sets Personal hygiene items A small gesture, but one that carried an enormous message: You are seen. You are loved. Keep going.  A Full Circle Moment For Smile for Smile founders Austine and Kelio, returning to serve alongside the clubs they once led was deeply symbolic. Smile for Smile was born in the halls of Kabarak and now, to come back — leading impact, side by side with the Kabarak family — is a blessing beyond words. The initiative, rooted in Kabarak’s ethos of faith, excellence, and service, is living proof that education at Kabarak doesn’t end at graduation — it expands into society.  Gratitude and a Growing Partnership The Principal and teachers at Muserechi were visibly moved, calling the event “one of the most impactful in the school’s history.” There are already plans underway to forge ongoing mentorship and support programs between Kabarak and Muserechi — because when communities connect, transformation follows. Kabarak University — Where Purpose Meets Passion Through initiatives like this, Kabarak University continues to walk the talk of producing graduates who are academically excellent, spiritually grounded, and socially responsible. Whether in lecture halls or rural communities, the mission remains the same: To lead. To serve. To inspire.

Kabarak University recently reaffirmed its commitment to the holistic well-being of its community by hosting a vibrant Health Awareness Week in collaboration with Dandelion Africa. The event, held from 7th to 11th July 2025, took place at both the Main Campus and the Nakuru City Campus, offering students and staff an opportunity to learn more about their health and access essential preventive services.

In a meaningful step toward strengthening holistic well-being within its community, Kabarak University on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, held a special chapel service at the Convocation Hall that featured the commissioning of its new Peer Counselling program. This initiative is designed to promote mental health awareness and encourage peer-to-peer support among students and the wider university family.

The Kabarak University Counselling Section, with immense support from the Office of the Dean of Students and the Chaplaincy Department, successfully conducted a three-day Peer Counseling Training from 3rd to 5th July 2025 at the Main Campus. This biannual training brought together selected student participants from both the Main Campus and the Nakuru City Campus. The objective of the training was to enhance peer support structures by equipping students with basic counseling skills to help them address a variety of mental health challenges within the student population.
