Millennium Consulting visit Raising Futures Kenya in Nairobi
Our CEO and long-time Patron of Raising Futures Kenya (RFK), Phil Keet, visited the charity’s operations in Nairobi with his wife, Jane. Millennium Consulting has supported RFK for nearly 20 years, contributing to the charity’s mission of supporting young people in Kenya to become self-reliant and live free from poverty.
During their visit, Phil and Jane Keet met with the charity’s leadership team, Mary and Florence, toured the vocational training facilities, and spent time engaging directly with students enrolled in the Seed of Hope programme. The Keets were deeply moved by the enthusiasm of the students, who expressed immense gratitude for the life-changing opportunities provided through the program.
Raising Futures Kenya has provided opportunities for disadvantaged youths by equipping them with the skills and resources necessary for self-reliance. Through vocational training programs, the charity helps young people gain employment or start their businesses, creating a ripple effect of positive change in local communities.
“After supporting Raising Futures Kenya for almost two decades, visiting the centre in Nairobi was incredibly meaningful. We were truly impressed by the dedication of the staff and the optimism of the students. Their self-confidence and hope for the future are a testament to the impactful work being done by Raising Futures Kenya and Seed of Hope.”
We are dedicated to sustainable development, in line with its overall goal of promoting social change. This visit showcases our commitment to making a real difference beyond its main business services by creating opportunities for those in need.

Despite the mixed weather conditions, including rain, clouds, beautiful blue skies, and sunshine, the Millennium Raising Futures Kenya Golf Day was a success! The event took place at Redlibbets Golf Club on Friday 14th June 2024.
The Millennium Golf Challenge brought together teams from different regions for an exciting day of golf competition. The Europe team, led by captain Clive Hunt, emerged victorious with an impressive 533 points with the USA team just behind at 492 points. Individual winners Jono Hill, Steve Williams, Kris De Pledge, and Paul Amos scored a total of 101 points in the Stableford competition.
In addition to the main competition, prizes were awarded for the longest drive and closest to the flag. Following the game, a post-round dinner took place where Leela and Kirsty from Raising Futures Kenya shared insights about the organisation and its activities, emphasising the impact of the Millennium Golf Day support. The evening continued with a fun game of heads and tails, a raffle, and an auction.
Special thanks to Avalara, Arbonne, Claretti, ICORP, Pleasant Land Distillery, and Unit4 for their generous support, which contributed to the success of the event.

Millennium adopts three elephants from Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya
Talek, Kitiak and Mushuru
The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) is well-known for its successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, which is considered to be the most successful in the world.
Elephants are an endangered species on account of man’s need for land and the constant poaching threat. In response, Millennium is supporting the work performed by SWT and has adopted three elephants – Talek, Kitiak and Mushuru – who receive specialised care and nutrition that enables them to grow and thrive.
"As someone born in Kenya who spent their formative years there, I hold a deep affinity for the country, its warm-hearted people and its awe-inspiring wildlife. I am wholeheartedly dedicated to extending my support and promoting the wellbeing of Kenya and encouraging financial assistance whenever the opportunity arises."
