Mugunda Adult Learning Centre
Located in the heart of Nairutya Village in Nyeri County, Kenya, Mugunda Adult Learning Centre stands as a ray of hope, growth, and transformation for adult learners seeking a second chance at education. Established by Nancy Ndichu and her family, the centre was born out of a deep commitment to restoring dignity through literacy and empowering individuals to shape better futures for themselves and their communities. Guided by its vision to awaken the potential and self-esteem of adult learners to live positively, Mugunda Adult Learning Centre provides a nurturing environment where learners rediscover their abilities, rebuild confidence, and gain the skills needed to thrive in an evolving world. The centre has become a safe and supportive space for men and women who, for various reasons, missed the opportunity for formal schooling earlier in life. The mission of the centre is clear and transformative: to ensure that skills, knowledge, and moral values are maximally utilized for individual and community benefit. Through structured learning, mentorship, and life skills development, learners are encouraged to tap into their unique strengths and apply them in ways that uplift not only their households but the entire community.
Mugunda Adult Learning Centre is anchored on strong and enduring values that shape its culture and daily operations. These include love for one another, which fosters a sense of belonging; humility and commitment, which build resilience and perseverance; and integrity and transparency, which inspire trust and accountability in all interactions. Today, the centre continues to transform lives—bringing education closer to those who need it most, nurturing aspirations, and empowering adult learners to reclaim their dreams. Through the vision and compassionate leadership of Nancy Ndichu and her family, Mugunda Adult Learning Centre remains a shining example of how literacy can become a powerful tool for personal and communal transformation.
