Over the Years, the YMA has had many of its children advance through its schools and go on through university to then pursue successful careers.
It is with great pride that the YMA has assisted in producing: Kenyan Ambassadors, a Provisional Director of Education, a Commissioner of the Constitution Review Committee, a Commissioner of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, numerous doctors, engineers, High Court lawyers, educators and so many more in a variety of professions.
Many of these individuals have gotten together to form a separate social group called the ‘Old Boys of the YMA’. This group has had fundraisers on behalf of the YMA and helped build a library at the orphanage. Furthermore, they have also sponsored mattresses and beddings for the children.
Some of our notable Alumni include:
Dr Ibrahim Ali, joined GMCH in 1972, and graduated from the orphanage in 1978. He was the first YMA student to graduate university, obtaining a doctorate.
