Capacity Building
Empowering Communities Through Skills, Knowledge & Opportunity
At Kenya National Library Service (knls), we believe that libraries are more than places to access information — they are centers of transformation and lifelong learning. Through our capacity building initiatives, we equip individuals, institutions, and communities with the tools they need to thrive in today’s knowledge economy.
Staff Development & Professional Training
We continually upskill our own librarians and staff through workshops, leadership programs, digital certifications, and peer learning forums — ensuring we deliver world-class service.
Community Training Programs
From digital literacy to financial skills, job readiness, entrepreneurship, and soft skills — we host free and inclusive workshops that uplift local communities.
Partner-Led Empowerment Projects
Through partnerships with NGOs, tech firms, and government agencies, knls branches host training sessions, bootcamps, and outreach programs targeting youth, women, and vulnerable groups.
Capacity Support for Schools & Institutions
We offer teacher support, mobile libraries, reading culture promotion, and curriculum-aligned resources to empower educational institutions across Kenya.
When we build people, we build the nation.
Join us in fostering skills, confidence, and opportunity — one program at a time.
