PRESS RELEASE

Director Starehe Boys Centre

This is to announce that Matthew Nzioka Kithyaka has been appointed as the new Director of Starehe Boys Centre.

From 1984 for seven years he was a teacher at Kathiiani Secondary School followed by two years at the Kenya National Examinations council as a National Examiner in Kiswahili. Following this nine year stint in direct education, he joined the Presidents Award Scheme in Kenya in June 1991

He spent ten years as a training officer focussing mainly on programmes for youth leaders – these were mainly teachers.  In 2002 he was promoted to an Assistant Director of the Scheme and a year later as acting Director. After a few months, in 2003, he was confirmed as the Director of the President’s Award Scheme. He held this position till mid 2006 when he moved to the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Association as the Operations Director for Africa covering programme development in 21 African countries. He joins Starehe as the Director from there.

Matthew thus brings a wealth of experience from his time in teaching as well as in development programmes based on leadership and community service. This experience is in alignment with the core values and ethos of Starehe as laid out by the late founder Dr. Geoffrey Griffin. The management Committee and Trustees of Starehe are confident that Matthew will be able to guide the institution as it embarks into the next fifty years of its journey in creating transformation in boys from disadvantaged backgrounds in Kenya.
