Welcome to Hekima College
Website. The name of our College basically means wisdom and it has its
foundation in Our Lady Seat of Wisdom. It is a wellspring that people
are drawn to so that they learn to relate with one another as people created
in the image and likeness of God. They are also to seek to develop an
intimate relationship and knowledge of God in all their undertakings.
As a community of Hekima
College, we cherish mutual concern for fellow human beings, the cura personalis
and our students' constant focus is to grow to be men and women of God
and for Others. Our disadvantaged brothers and sisters find a place in
our hearts, not just in reflection but also in moving towards them so
that they feel that somebody cares. It is offering a hand to those who
are feeble, the oppressed and creating home to strangers.
