With profound sorrow, yet in humble submission to God’s will, we announce the passing on of Jenifer Ndunge Mangu.
Jenifer was a remarkable leader whose influence spanned several respected institutions.

She also held leadership roles in Child Evangelism Fellowship, the Rotary Club of Machakos, among other organizations, leaving an indelible mark of service and compassion.
Together with her husband, Gideon Mangu, Jenifer was a visionary entrepreneur and the driving force behind Makamithi Enterprises Ltd.
