Program topics included self-care, effective communication, time-management, reproductive health, substance abuse prevention, career guidance, as well as how to actualize their talents and so much more.
57 Teachers Empowered
One of things that sets KEF apart from other scholarship organizations is our appreciation for the teachers responsible for nurturing students. The 2019 KEF Teacher's Workshop was attended by 57 teachers from our partner schools across the country and focused on equipping teachers with knowledge on emotional intelligence, coaching, psycho-social issues and personal financial management.
