More members are set to return to school for undergraduate and post graduate  following the Association's fifth Annual Scholarship Fund Dinner on 30 October 2009.

The event, aimed at increasing the number and impact of women in the media, especially in decision making processes, empowering women by enhancing their skills, knowledge and access to information technology as a way of combating negative portrayal of women both locally and internationally. This initiative also sought to challenge instances of abuse of power in this increasingly important industry, media. AMWIK's chairperson Ms Sylvia Machini challenged the media in Kenya to take deliberate efforts to include women in their top management and create space for women leadership bearing in mind that Kenya will be one of the African countries reporting on the progress in achieving the Beijing platform for Action by especially focusing on article J in the Beijing document on Women and Media, whose strategic objective is to increase the participation and access of women to expression and decision making in and through the media and new technologies of communication. She added that the representation of women at top leadership levels is still fluctuating.

AMWIK has adopted the concept of community radio listening groups to mobilize community action for social transformation and development. AMWIK focuses on the marginalized parts of Kenya and has a bias to women groups in the pastoral communities especially in the North eastern province of Kenya where infrastructural development is poorest, including access to information and media. In addition these also record the highest statistics of low literacy levels and women are still subjected to negative cultural practices such as female genital mutilation and early marriage.
