Community Impact
Learning Through Service. Transforming Lives in Kenya.
At Goshen Medical & Technical College, education doesn’t end in the classroom — it extends into the heart of the community.
Our students and faculty are continuously engaged in hands-on outreach initiatives that improve lives in Thika Town, Makongeni Estate, and the wider Kiambu County region.
These efforts embody Goshen’s belief that true learning happens through service and that every professional we train should be a changemaker in society.
