ICROSS Kenya celebrates

Kenya Celebrates 50 years of Independence

Latest News » 11 December 2013
Dr Evan Sequeira together with the ICROSS  founders established ICROSS Kenya when Kenya was fifteen years old. We are delighted that as Kenya celebrates 50 years of self rule, ICROSS celebrates its 35 years of service to the Kenyan people. Over 99% of ICROSS staff are African and ICROSS remains committed to Kenya driven planning, locally owned ideas and projects that reflects the will of the local community.
As we celebrate 50 years of freedom and independence, we recognize the need for the same values and vision given to us by Nelson Mandela. On this 50th anniversary (close to the 35th ICROSS anniversary in Kenya) We rededicate ourselves to the values of selfless service of our communities and a policy of transparency and good governance and collective integrity’
There is no room on this 50th anniversary for indifference or apathy  when so many of our Kenya people live in poverty and hunger, the challenges of weak management, corruption and poor governance remain huge hurdles; however together we remain dedicated to establishing best practices, on this special day of the 12th December.
On the 12th December 2013 ICROSS along with all other Kenyans will be celebrating the incredible successes of the Kenya people since there liberation. Together with our partners around the world we should be recognizing the great achievements of Kenyan men and women in serving their country. In celebrations of the 50th anniversary we are announcing a new scholarship award.
Father Paul Cunningham served in Kenya for over 40 years building many high schools and was the first chairman of ICROSS Kenya having dedicated his all life to the Kenya people. We will be announcing shortly the details for application to receive the annual father Paul scholarship award. As well as this we will be recognizing the many local heroes that make ICROSS work possible.
The board of directors headed by Dr  Sequeira shares in the celebration and the blessing at this time of the great gift to the world of Nelson Mandela all of us at ICROSS and our friends  from communities around the world aspire to his dream and his vision for Africa. As an African lead organization we believe in self determination and locally guided planning for our own futures. Above all we stand by vision of companion equality and forgiveness.
