WIKS at Nambale Magnet School

WIKS (Women’s Initiative on Knowledge and Survival) is a licensed Kenyan non-profit group founded in 2003 by the Rev. Evalyn Wakhusama when she returned to Kenya after study at Yale Divinity School. She wanted the education and experiences she had received to benefit her own people, especially the women of her country in need of empowerment. WIKS began with AIDS education, feeding programs and assistance with school fees for young men and women, but its vision has now expanded:

To see a world where all people harness their potential and live in dignity;
To empower society through access to information by providing a solid basic education;
To transform society and bring about meaningful change using Christian principles;
To generate long term opportunities for self-sufficiency by developing initiatives to restore self-confidence and teach survival skills
