Military service extends beyond safeguarding national security to embracing compassion, uplifting vulnerable communities and strengthening the bond between the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) and the people it serves.
This spirit of service was demonstrated by the Kenya Air Force Parade Team, currently deployed in Eldoret for national parade duties ahead of Mashujaa Day celebrations at Kipchoge Keino Stadium, through a humanitarian outreach to Jawabu Rehabilitation Centre.
The initiative, undertaken under the KDF Civil-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) framework, was coordinated by Warrant Officer Class Two (WO2) Emanuel Kolil and WO2 Mark Mutai. The team donated foodstuffs and essential personal items, while engaging the children through mentorship, encouragement and moments of shared joy.
