Hello Marion! GEF are growing...

It is with great pleasure that I introduce a new member of our GEF team.
Marion came on board back in November as our first full time counsellor in Kenya. 😀
 
Marion holds a Bachelor of Sociology university degree and has vast experience working with vulnerable people in society.
 
She has spent her first few months visiting our Iten based GEF families, guiding them through various challenges and helping them progress in education, business, their careers and life in general. When Covid-19 restrictions allow, she will also be working closely with our other families across the country but for now has been helping them as best as possible via phone.
 
The Covid-19 situation has presented our GEF children and parents with new challenges and so it was vital for us to appoint a full time counsellor.

Marion tells us how her first few months in the role have been:
"Since starting my counselling sessions I have reached out to many youths and their families to help with social issues and have been talking them through different challenges they are facing. I am happy with the progress and the positive effects the counselling is yielding. I am seeing positive changes in the children and good cooperation from parents too with regard to implementing the suggestions offered.
I have also enjoyed assisting my colleagues with academic and business empowerment follow ups and look forward to helping our GEF beneficiaries progress."
