Successful Monitoring & Evaluation of Leadership for Education for Sustainable Development (LEAD-ESD) Machakos TTC CRE'CHE Change Project.
Friday, 22nd May 2026.
We are proud to have successfully held the Monitoring and Evaluation exercise for our Leadership for Education for Sustainable Development (LEAD-ESD) Change Project on Friday, 22nd May 2026 at Pioneer Hall, Machakos Teachers Training College.The session highlighted the tremendous progress of our flagship College Crèche Project, which is transforming lives and institutional culture at MATECO.

Key Highlights:
Curriculum Integration: The crèche is now meaningfully embedded in the teacher education curriculum through Diploma Teacher Education, Environmental Education, Agriculture, Home Science, Child Development, Nutrition, Life Skills, and Educational Psychology.
Greening & Climate Action: The project continues to promote a green learning environment through tree planting, vegetable and herb gardens, landscaping, water harvesting, and sustainable waste management.
Quality & Inclusive Education: The crèche is providing critical support to student mothers, enabling them to pursue their studies with dignity while ensuring their children receive quality care within the college premises.

Transformational Impact Observed:
Before the crèche, student mothers frequently missed classes to breastfeed or care for their infants, leading to fatigue, poor academic performance, and risk of dropout. Today, nursing mothers can attend lectures consistently, concentrate better, and participate fully in academic activities. This initiative is enhancing retention, academic success, equity, and inclusion at Machakos Teachers College.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all stakeholders, partners, and the college leadership for their continued support in advancing Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
Together, we are building a more inclusive, supportive, and sustainable teacher training institution!

After a 1-0 win over Burnley and Man City only managing a draw at Bournemouth, the title is theirs — their first in 22 years and the 14th top-flight championship. What a season under Mikel Arteta! Solid defence, clinical attacks, and pure resilience. David Raya with another Golden Glove too 👏

From fighting for top 4 to finally bringing the trophy back to the Emirates... this one hits different. COYG! ❤️

Kumbukumbu ya Marehemu Bi. Cecilia Anyango Gladys

Jana, familia ya Machakos Teachers College iliungana kwa uchungu mkubwa na umoja kuombea na kumkumbuka mwanafunzi wetu mpendwa, Cecilia Anyango Gladys. Ukumbi wa dining hall ulijaa na wote: Maafisa wa utawala, walimu, wafanyakazi na hasa wenzake wa kozi. Nyuso za wote zilijaa huzuni iliyotutanda mioyoni. Kila aliyezungumza alimtaja na kumsifu tabia yake njema- mwanamke mwenye moyo wa kujitolea, upendo mkubwa, utumishi kwa wengine, na kupenda binadamu wote. Ibada ya maombi ilikuwa ya kina na yenye hisia nyingi, ikifuatiwa na sherehe ya kuwasha mishumaa ambapo hisia zilitawala na machozi yakatiririka kwa wengi.
Cecilia, ulituacha mapema sana, lakini nuru yako, tabasamu lako na urithi wako utabaki nasi milele. Pumzika kwa amani ya milele, mpenzi wetu Cecilia.
Tutakukumbuka daima.

Heartwarming Reunion: Alumni Visit to Machakos Teachers Training Colllege.
On Tuesday, 21st April 2026, Machakos Teachers Training College (MATECO) had the honour of hosting a distinguished group of alumni from the Taita Taveta and Coastal regions.
These respected educators, who graduated in the 1970s and have since risen to become Heads of Institutions, returned to their alma mater with great pride.
They expressed immense appreciation for the remarkable infrastructural transformation the College has undergone over the years. The alumni were particularly impressed by the modern Administration Block, the upcoming multi-storey tuition block, the new perimeter wall with a modern gate, and the improved Information Technology facilities.
They also marvelled at the growing number of teachers across the country who trace their professional roots to Machakos Teachers Training College.
They commended the current leadership and stakeholders for the tremendous progress and urged them to continue with the good work, noting that the College’s contribution to the nation remains significant and highly noticeable.
We are deeply grateful for their visit and continued support. Moments like these remind us of our rich legacy and inspire us to do even more.
