KENET engineers visited Kagumo Teachers Training College on February 2018 to assist in improving their network. The one-week visit at the College located at the Central Kenyan Highlands, Nyeri entailed activities that resulted in a strengthened network and improved wireless coverage.

The higher education and research community (i.e., students, faculty, researchers and staff) takes Cloud Services for granted. In fact, most members of the community have a Google mail or Yahoo e-mail address (vc@gmail.com or steve@yahoo.com) and are vaguely aware that their e-mails are stored somewhere in the Internet or in the cloud. Moreover, most KENET member universities have already moved their student e-mails to Google by taking advantage of FREE Google Apps for Education Services. It means that the e-mail is stored in Google servers that are outside of Kenya.
