A Journey of Resilience and Determination: The Inspiring Story of Godfrey Omondi Ogollah

On December 4, 2025, Godfrey Omondi proudly walked across the graduation stage, another milestone in a remarkable journey defined by resilience, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to personal and professional growth. His story is one of rising above challenges, continuously reinventing oneself, and proving that with consistency, anything is possible.

Godfrey’s path in healthcare began with a Diploma in Medical Imaging Science, where he first discovered his passion for patient care and diagnostic excellence. Eager to deepen his expertise, he advanced to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Radiography, cementing his place in one of the most demanding yet impactful fields in medicine.

But his thirst for knowledge and leadership didn’t stop there.

Recognizing the need for strong management within the healthcare sector, he pursued a Master’s Degree in Health Management, equipping himself with the skills to influence systems, teams, and outcomes beyond the imaging room.

During the KMTC 94th graduation ceremony, he added another feather to his academic cap: a Higher Diploma in Health Profession Education. This milestone not only expands his professional capabilities but also reflects his dedication to shaping the next generation of healthcare professionals.

Godfrey’s academic path is not just a collection of certificates, but a testament to determination, focus, and the belief that growth is a lifelong journey. Along the way, he has embraced challenges, adapted to change, and risen stronger each time, proving that true resilience is built step by step.

As he graduated once again, Godfrey hoped that his story will insipire others to keep going, keep learning, and keep believing in the power of persistence. His message is clear, “Your background does not limit your destiny. With discipline, faith, and relentless effort, you can rewrite your story, one chapter at a time."

Congratulations, Godfrey, on yet another outstanding achievement. Your journey continues to inspire many, and the future ahead is bright.

KMTC Eldoret Boosts Ophthalmic Training with KSh 2.7 Million Equipment Donation

The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Eldoret campus is set to enhance its ophthalmic training after receiving specialised training equipment valued at Ksh 2.7 million from the Fred Hollows Foundation Kenya (FHFK).

The equipment, comprising retinoscopes, direct and indirect ophthalmoscopes, retraction boxes, and cataract surgery sets, was officially handed over on December 17, 2025, by FHFK Country Director Mr. Peter Milo, who presented the donation to the Campus Principal, Mr. Daniel Kimwetich. The donation is designed to enhance hands-on training for Ophthalmic Clinical Officers.

Representing KMTC CEO Dr. Kelly Oluoch, Mr. Kimwetich noted that the equipment will significantly enhance training quality. “This donation will strengthen our capacity to deliver world-class ophthalmic training and ensure our learners acquire practical, industry-relevant skills,” he said.

The Principal reaffirmed the College’s commitment to impactful partnerships. “This equipment will greatly enhance practical training and ensure our graduates are well prepared to meet the growing needs of the eye-health sector,” he said. He further revealed that plans are underway to establish a state-of-the-art ophthalmology training centre at Eldoret Campus through the partnership.

Speaking on behalf of FHFK, Mr. Milo highlighted the long-standing collaboration with KMTC. “Our partnership with KMTC spans over a decade and has supported skills laboratories, faculty development, and the training of hundreds of middle-level eye-health professionals across the country,” he said. He added, “We are committed to expanding learning infrastructure at Eldoret and Nakuru campuses, with Nakuru identified as a future centre of excellence in ophthalmology training.”

The KMTC Ophthalmology Coordinator, Ms. Caroline Tanui, described the donation as timely and transformative. “This collaboration reflects our shared vision with the Fred Hollows Foundation to fight avoidable blindness by equipping our trainees with modern tools and competencies,” she noted.
As part of the collaboration, KMTC has also provided office space at the Eldoret Campus to host FHFK’s North Rift regional operations, led by Mr. Ben O. K’olwa, thereby further strengthening regional coordination and impact.

Following the handover, the team toured the Ophthalmology classroom, library, and skills laboratory in the new building, which is to be equipped by FHFK. The event was attended by FHFK officials, including Mr. William Saalu (Procurement and Operations Manager) and Ms. Rose Gichengo (Project Officer), as well as KMTC Principals from Mosoriot, Kaptumo, and Burnt Forest.

Through partnerships such as this, KMTC continues to strengthen ophthalmic training and contribute to the production of a skilled, fit-for-purpose health workforce, advancing access to quality eye care across Kenya.

Delay Is Not Denial: How KMTC Helped Titus Mutemi Rewrite His Story

Titus Mwendwa Mutemi’s journey is nothing short of inspiring, illustrating how determination, faith, and the proper support can transform lives and prove that delays do not equal denial.

Growing up in Ngomeni Ward, Kitui County, Titus faced significant challenges early on in his life. His educational path was far from straightforward; he dropped out of school in Standard Five, a decision that could have extinguished his academic dreams. However, five years later, he found the strength to return to the same class, driven by a fierce commitment to reclaim his future.

Titus encountered even more obstacles along the way. After completing his KCPE, he faced a two-year gap before he could join secondary school, and then another two-year wait before he could make it to College. Yet amidst these setbacks, his passion for learning and belief in a brighter future never wavered.

In September 2014, Titus took a significant step towards his aspirations by enrolling at KMTC Karen, where he pursued a Certificate in Community Nutrition. He graduated in 2016 but soon realised financial constraints would delay his next academic endeavour. Instead of losing hope, he entered the job market, all the while keeping his long-term dreams in sight.

A defining moment came in 2022, when Titus seized a second chance to pursue his dream of becoming a nurse, enrolling in a Diploma in Community Health Nursing (KRCHN) at KMTC Mwingi. This new chapter of his life required immense hard work. He juggled the rigours of his coursework with the responsibilities of being a devoted father to his two children, ensuring their needs were met while managing his College fees, all without external sponsorship.

His unwavering faith, discipline, and resilience carried him through the most challenging times. On December 4, 2025, as KMTC graduands donned their colourful gowns, complete with stoles identifying them as graduates and congratulating them on the milestone, Titus walked out of Moi International Sports Centre, not merely as a graduate but as a Kenya Registered Community Health Nurse (KRCHN), ready to take on the world. Not long after, he secured a position at a mission hospital, culminating his journey in a role dedicated to service and healing.

Titus Mwendwa Mutemi’s journey, from being a Standard Five dropout to becoming a registered nurse and a double graduate of KMTC, tells a story of the transformative power of second chances. His journey delivers a message to learners everywhere: your past does not determine your future. With determination and faith, it is never too late to succeed.

The institution remains a key contributor to the training of skilled health professionals in line with national health priorities.

To all our KMTC 94th graduation ceremony graduates picking up their documents: Congratulations!

This officially marks the transition from student to professional health worker. Go make us proud!

Happy Jamhuri Day!

11/12/2025

My name is Purity Nkatha, a proud graduate of KMTC. I share my story not for recognition, but in the hope that it may encourage someone who is walking through their own difficult season.

My journey to this moment has been far from ordinary. I grew up facing hardships that at times left me without a place to sleep. Yet even in those moments, a quiet dream of becoming a health professional lived within me. At 32 years old, determined to rewrite my future, I returned to school and sat for my KCSE examinations, proving to myself that it is never too late to begin again.

Just when my academic journey was gaining momentum, I received a life-altering diagnosis: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), a chronic autoimmune condition. I vividly remember moving from hospital wards straight into examination rooms, weak, frightened, and in unbearable pain. But somehow, with faith and resilience, I still passed, and I passed well!
Choosing to study nursing required one of the most significant sacrifices of my life: leaving my four-year-old daughter behind so I could build a future that would one day secure hers. Joining KMTC rekindled my hope. I found a community that welcomed me, supported my aspirations, and believed in my potential even when my body felt like it was giving up.

Nursing school is challenging for any student, but pursuing it while managing a chronic illness tested my strength in ways I never thought I could endure. My treatment needs were beyond what my family could afford, and many moments felt impossible. However, I drew on borrowed strength, with support from friends, well-wishers, and compassionate individuals who chose to walk alongside me. Their support kept me in education, continued my treatment, and kept my dream alive.

Today, I stand proudly as a KMTC graduate, a dream that once seemed out of reach.

I share my story in gratitude: to honour the journey, to acknowledge everyone who helped me stand, and to remind others that adversity does not mean the end. To the adult returning to class, the parent starting over, the student fighting a silent illness, keep going. Your dreams are valid, and your story is not finished.

If this testimony can inspire even one person to hold on and push forward, then sharing it will have served its purpose.
