Since its establishment in 1994 Elijah Musili has been Managing Director of Mekaela Academies. Through these years he rightfully earned himself the respect and appreciation of parents, their children and the founders alike. One could call him "workaholic", and his behaviour never leaves anything to be desired - unless he is in a football match or hasn't eaten for some time. No doubt we largely owe it to Elijah that  Mekaela Academies have become the best schools of South Coast and of the whole country.

Simon was employed at Manuel Alexander School in 1997. In just a few years he experienced a remarkable career, being promoted to Head-Teacher of MAS first and later becoming Education Manager of Mekaela Academies. In that position, he is in charge for school operations and organisation as well as sponsorships, and he is second in command after Eliah Musili. The best way to describe Simon with a phrase would be: the perfect gentleman.

Florence has been with Mekaela Academies since 1997. In 2001, she became Head-Teacher of Likunda Primary School. Florence is one of those "strong, beautiful African women" many African songs are telling stories about. She is one of seven daughters of a Massai family whose father was wise enough to send all his daughters to university. Eventually, most of them became teachers. Florence manages LPS with dedication and competence, and as well as that is raising her two boys.

Charles joined Manuel Alexander School as a teacher in 1999, and thus he is among the longest serving employees of Mekaela Academies. Due to his excellent performance he was promoted to Head-Teacher of Manuel Alexander School. Charles has an unbeatable sense of humour, and during school performances the children cheer of joy when he performs one of his unmatchable dancing acts.

Presently, Anderson is the youngest of all our Head-Teachers. He joined Mekaela Academies only in 2003 and was working as a teacher for German language in the first year, but was promoted to Head-Teacher (Principal) of Lulu High School in 2006. Because LHS is a boarding school, Anderson - like Florence at LPS - is living with his family in a small house on the school compound. Anderson quickly wins over people with his boyish charm, and - goodness me! - he speaks German, too. 

Shadrack belongs to the new young generation of Mekaela Academies managers. He joined Lulu High School as a teacher in 2005. In just three years he received his promotion as Assistant Administrator of Mekaela Academies. Apart from his excellent qualities as a teacher he is also quite skilled in the field of farming, and he developed the concept for our "Mekaela Farms" project. Consequently he was promoted to Project Manager of Mekaela Farms in 2009.

Since 2004 Jackim (Jack) is working as the Architect and Chief Technician of Mekaela Academies. He supervises and coordinates construction activities and recurring maintenance and repair works. Jack distinguishes himself by his reliability and his accuracy. He has a solution at hand for each and every problem at any time, and he always keeps his calm.

At the age of 36, Jack passed away on September 19th, 2011.
