“Before joining MustardSeed, I kept applying for jobs with no feedback. Through the CV reviews and mock interviews, I gained clarity and confidence. I was shortlisted for interviews and secured my first full-time job within three months.”

“The mentorship sessions helped me understand what employers really look for during interviews. I walked into my interviews prepared and confident, and I am now working as a junior analyst.”

“The Before joining MustardSeed, I struggled to secure employment. Even getting interview opportunities was difficult, and over time, the frustration of endless job applications with no feedback began to weigh heavily on me. Each application felt like a wild goose chase.

Joining MustardSeed changed everything.

I found not just a program, but a family. The team helped me identify and correct critical mistakes in my CV and cover letter, transforming them into professional and competitive documents. I was also equipped with practical and powerful interview skills that gave me confidence and clarity whenever an opportunity arose.

The results were almost immediate — I secured a position at Bright Technologies, a company that deals in ICT products.

But MustardSeed did more than help me get a job. They went a step further and supported my passion for fashion design. At a time when I was close to giving up, they provided a platform for me to showcase my designs to a wider audience in Kisumu, reigniting my confidence and creativity.

Today, I proudly share the skills and knowledge I gained from MustardSeed with other job seekers, and the impact has been incredible.

MustardSeed is truly changing lives — and I am grateful to be part of this family.”

“After moving to Nairobi in search of work, I gained experience in poultry farming and developed a deep passion for it. Today, I work as a security guard at the Missionaries of Charity in Lang’ata–Otiende, where I also help maintain the environment and gardens.

Through MustardSeed Kenya, I met Mr. Chris, who not only encouraged my dream of returning to poultry farming but also supported me in caring for my puppy, Ethel — covering her food, vaccinations, and even surgery. His kindness meant more than I can express.

Worked with MustardSeed to rebuild my poultry farming journey — with the goal of creating jobs for others in need.”

“I secured my first job at Genpact International, a company specializing in accounting and finance outsourcing, thanks to MustardSeed. The program equipped me with strong interview skills and professional work ethics that helped me secure and retain my position.

When I was absorbed into the company, MustardSeed also supported me financially during my first months, helping me dress professionally and meet work-related expenses.

One year later, my life — and my family’s life — has completely changed. I can now provide for basic needs, support my siblings’ education, and even enjoy small luxuries we once could not afford. Today, I am mentoring other MustardSeeds — paying forward what was invested in me.”

“After completing my studies, I believed that securing a job would be easy. However, I quickly realized that many graduates, including myself, face real challenges — financial constraints, lack of professional exposure, and limited interview and communication skills.

Joining the MustardSeed Program completely changed my trajectory.

Through the program, I learned how to prepare a professional and well-structured CV, gained practical interview skills, and received mentorship on how to conduct myself before, during, and after interviews. These were critical skills I had never formally been taught. The program also provided valuable training materials that helped me transition smoothly into the workplace.

In addition, MustardSeed supported me financially during my first month of employment, easing the pressure as I settled into my new role.

MustardSeed embodies the spirit of “Learn, Love and Serve” and truly forms Men and Women for Others. I strongly believe this program will continue transforming the lives of many graduates who are talented and qualified but lack the practical tools needed to secure and sustain employment. I am proud and grateful to be part of the MustardSeed family.”
