Embu MTC's Clinical Medicine Students' Social Welfare Association is sponsoring two orphaned students at Embu's Saint Monica Special School for the Mentally Challenged.

The Association visited the orphans and paid their term one fees amounting to Ksh 8000.They have promised to do so every term.
They also donated toiletries, foodstuffs, shoe polish and other personal effects to the pupils. The Association promised to offer their medical skills to the community to help the needy achieve their social, economic and health goals.

Like Nakuru, Nairobi and Nyeri MTCs, Embu MTC has for a long-time been in the fore-front in taking services to the community, getting a good name in their locality for identifying with the less fortunate.

In June 2010, the Campus' Changerz club took free medical care to inmates at Embu G.K. Prison. The club also visited TOTO Love Children's Home and donated foodstuff and clothing to the needy children.

More than 100 Nairobi MTC students underwent a student-driven peer training workshop on HIV/AIDS behaviour and attitude change on February 18 and 19.

The training culminated in a gathering involving students from other Colleges and Universities on February 19 at the college.
The training, facilitated by students from Students Aids Action Group (SAAG), aimed at creating awareness on HIV & AIDS among students in the College, says SAAG Chairman Mr. Geoffrey Otieno Jabiya.

The training also aimed at developing the training skills of students so that they can in turn be good trainers themselves. Emmanuel Korir, a second year student in Occupational Therapy, and a participant, said the workshop would help students live a HIV &AIDS free life. It also taught them how to live with the disease and how to help others in the community, he said.

SAAG is well known for its spirited fight against the disease among College students. In addition to organising HIV/AIDS training, the group is involved in outreaches to primary and secondary schools. It has also encouraged establishments of similar students group in campuses like Karen, Thika, Nakuru and Machakos.

Nairobi MTC Principal Mrs Agnes Mualuko, who sponsored the training, said: "A student-driven process is more likely to bear better results than if we put them in a hall for a lecture," she adds.
