NAIROBI, Kenya – The month of June 2026 is set to begin in earnest with the Universities Student Leaders Association (USLA) hosting a picnic for comrades. The USLA students’ picnic will be held on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at Karura Forest, Nairobi County.
Albert Maloba, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of USLA, said all university students have been invited to attend the annual USLA picnic.
Some of the activities expected during the event include walking, dancing, chilling out, networking, learning and lots of fun. The charge for the event is KSh 650, which is to be paid via paybill number 247247, account 1770284823713.
“Snacks and water will be available. Expect a special guest appearance to be featured. Come, let’s transform comradeship into something greater,” said Maloba.
USLA to conduct a clean-up exercise in Kibra
Ahead of the event, USLA will conduct a major community clean-up exercise in Kibra on June 5, 2026. The exercise will be led by Kenya’s second lady, Dr. Joyce Kithure, and aims to strengthen environmental responsibility, sustainability, and community empowerment.
Focus areas include waste management, tree planting, collection and recycling training. Other activities of the day will be environmental awareness creation and sustainability of the Nairobi River cleaning initiative.
“We invite students, youth leaders, environmental champions, and members of the community to join this impactful movement toward a cleaner and healthier environment,” Maloba further explained.

Maloba also announced that free lunch and transport will be provided to all participants.
“To join the team, kindly register through the USLA Environmental Protection Council for logistics coordination. Together, let us protect the environment, restore dignity to our communities, and build a sustainable future for generations to come,” Maloba explained.
This comes a fortnight after USLA embarked on a mentorship programme designed to nurture transformative leadership and equip young leaders with the skills and values needed to effect positive change in society.
The programme was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, under the stewardship of Maloba.
During the launch of the programme dubbed the Universities Student Leadership Institute (USLI), an event held at a city hotel, senior technologist Dr. Agnes Andolo was installed as its inaugural Chancellor.

According to Maloba, the occasion marked an important milestone in advancing structured leadership development, institutional mentorship, and youth empowerment across universities, TVETs, and colleges in Africa.
“This leadership programme has its structures anchored within our universities. We have other like-minded partners like the Kenya School of Government (KSG), which is helping us formulate a curriculum for the student leaders that will be running across all our Kenyan universities. We have also partnered with Safaricom under the Uongozi Student Center, among others,” explained Maloba.
Maloba announced that they aim to mentor young people in Kenya to embrace competency and pave the way for future leaders.
“We believe that our young leaders and especially student leaders need mentorship beyond the corridors of their institutions. Leadership needs to be nurtured and ironed out before we get out. I believe this is going to solve many challenges of leadership we have seen among our leaders. This is a platform that is going to expand the status of our young people and perspective towards the young people,” explained Maloba.
