Giving back: Jamhuri old boys regroup, pump funds for new boys to get better dorms, new high-tech lab

Alumni associations are instrumental in any educational institution. They boost the institutions, including mobilising former students to give back to their alma mater. This can be in the form of donations, mentorship or providing scholarships for needy students joining their former schools.

At Jamhuri High School, one of the oldest schools in the country with a broad alumni network, the former students recently held a homecoming ceremony during which they pledged to bridge the funding gap left by the government and parents.
