Theme: Pamoja: One Pulse, One Future
Our steps have power when they clear a path for someone else’s future. On Saturday, June 27, 2026, the CHRM College community, partners, alumni, and friends proved exactly that during the CHRM Scholarship Fund Walk. It was an incredible day packed with energy,
purpose, and shared determination. The crisp morning air at the Ngong Road Forest Sanctuary provided the perfect backdrop as over 100 participants gathered with a singular, vital goal: to tear down financial barriers and keep deserving students in class.

The event was officially opened and graced by our Principal, Margaret K. Kinyanjui, MIHRM MKIM, alongside CHRM Board Member and Chaplain, Rev. Canon Stephine Opiyo Obong’o. Their presence and encouraging words reminded everyone that the walk was about much more than fitness, it was an investment in human capital and the next generation of professional leaders.
“Education is the greatest equalizer, but financial gaps often stand in the way of brilliant minds achieving their potential. Seeing our community, corporate partners, and alumni turn up in large numbers today shows the depth of our commitment to ensuring no student drops out because of school fees.” — Margaret K. Kinyanjui, Principal, CHRM College
The sanctuary trails offered something for everyone, featuring 5km, 10km, 15km, and demanding 21km routes. While some took on the challenge as a competitive run, stretching their limits through the forest paths, others opted for a deliberate, conversational walk, enjoying the mentorship trails while bonding with colleagues and friends. Geography was no barrier either. Those who couldn’t physically join us at Ngong Forest laced up their sneakers from different neighborhoods and towns, tracking their progress and participating virtually.
Whether in person or from afar, the collective energy was undeniable.
What made the day truly unforgettable was the incredible blend of people who showed up. The energy was driven by eager current CHRM College students, returning alumni proud to support their roots, visiting students from neighbouring institutions, and a wider network of friends of CHRM. Together, they turned a fundraising initiative into a vibrant community celebration.
An initiative of this scale thrives on collective goodwill. We are immensely grateful to our corporate sponsors and partners who stood firmly behind this cause, including Diamond Trust Bank (DTB), the Human Resource Management Professionals Examination Board (HRMPEB), and Royal Associates Insurance Brokers LTD, among several others. Equally vital were our dedicated individual sponsors, philanthropic people who reached into their pockets to support independent students. Every single contribution has gone directly into the fund, moving us closer to our goal of keeping our classrooms full and full of promise.
To everyone who ran, walked, donated, cheered us on, or shared our updates, thank you for making the 2026 Scholarship Walk an absolute success. You didn’t just walk a trail; you changed a life.
