About Archbishop Okoth Vocational Training Center

The Archbishop Okoth Vocational Training Centre-Koru (KVTC), the then Koru Village Youth Polytechnic was opened in 1985 at Koru Catholic Mission by His Grace Archbishop Zaccheus Okoth. It offered Artisan Courses for Youths to the larger area of Muhoroni Division. The College moved to its present site in 1987 and remained functional until 1999 when unfortunately, it had to close due to lack of funding and support. This closure created a vacuum for the youths of Koru and its environs.
The KVTC site is located about 78 Km North East of Kisumu City and 28 Km off the Kisumu – Nairobi highway. The college is positioned 1000m above sea level. Rain fed crop production takes place and the area is conducive for the rearing of livestock. The College lies within an industrial area in which are located the factories of Homa lime Co. Ltd, Muhoroni Sugar Co. Ltd, Chemelil Sugar. Co. Ltd and Agrochemical and Food Co. Ltd. Archbishop Okoth VTC is among the 43 VTC located in Kisumu County.

Mrs. Mary Stewart the manager of KVTC, returned in a full time capacity to Kenya in 2007 when was asked by His Grace the Archbishop of Kisumu, to reopen the VTC which had closed in 1999. Mrs. Stewart has extensive management and teaching experience gained during her time in the educational sector of the Isle of Man.
