KEPSHA Relocates and Launches Strategic Plan for Future Growth.
The Kenya Primary School Headteachers Association (KEPSHA) has officially relocated from its initial home at Tembo House in Nairobi’s Central Business District to an impressive new office on the second floor of Next Gen Mall, Suite 9, along Mombasa Road.
This move coincides with the recent launch of KEPSHA’s 2024-2028 Strategic Plan, aligning with their 20-year milestone since inception in 2003.
The spacious new office layout includes a dedicated, well-furnished workspace for the National Chairman, designed to facilitate high-level engagements with dignitaries and delegations.
Next to this office is a modern, fully equipped boardroom, adorned with portraits of current and past leaders, including the present National Chairman Johnson Nzioka, who is also the head teacher of Donholm Primary School in Nairobi.
This boardroom will serve as the venue for key meetings, including the National Executive (NEC) and National Governing Council (NGC), offering a cost-effective alternative to renting commercial spaces for official gatherings.
KEPSHA’s new headquarters provide ample room for the Secretariat team, led by Chief Administrative Officer and Secretariat Head Rebecca Otieno.
Supporting her are key staff members: Caroline Sila, Head of Communication and Project Management; Kennedy Oduor, the Accountant; and Winnie Mumbi, the Head of Customer Care Service.
