Kibabii University held its Annual Prayer Breakfast on 2nd April 2026, bringing together staff, students, and university leadership in a reflective gathering that emphasized mental wellness, particularly for individuals experiencing different forms of loss. The Prayer Breakfast coincided with the Christian observance of Maundy Thursday.
The event, organized by the Office of the Registrar (Administration and Human Resource), was attended by members of the University Management led by the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Planning, Partnerships, Research and Innovation), Prof. Julius Maiyo, who represented the Vice Chancellor. Also present were the Ag. Deputy Vice Chancellor (Administration, Finance and Development), Prof. John Makokha, and the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic and Student Affairs), Prof. Joshua Ogendo. The newly elected student leadership, led by Aupry Shango, also attended the event.
The main sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. Christine Nabwire, who called on the University community to be empathetic and supportive towards colleagues and friends experiencing various forms of loss, including the loss of loved ones, electoral defeat, and loss of property.

She emphasized that compassion and the presence of God are key in navigating difficult moments.
In his remarks, Prof. Maiyo highlighted the significant achievements and growth of Kibabii University since its inception and asked member of the University community to be grateful for the growth.
