The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), in partnership with the Kenya Institute of Special Education (KISE), has launched a new rehabilitation initiative to support soldiers injured in the line of duty. This program, unveiled at the KISE graduation ceremony on Friday, December 5, 2025, aims to end the practice of dismissing injured or disabled soldiers.

• The program ensures injured officers receive support and opportunities to serve in roles suited to their abilities, with Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Charles Kahariri emphasizing that injury will no longer lead to dismissal.
• The collaboration focuses on medical rehabilitation, mobility support, psychological care, and specialized training to reintegrate wounded service members into active duty or alternative roles within the KDF.
• At the graduation, 1,835 graduates received certificates and diplomas, including six soldiers with various special needs.
