MHAC endeavors to share experiences in various ways, for instance through offering attachment placement for students from other training institutions, colleges and universities both local and international. The Centre has had students from the U.S.A., Netherlands, U.K., South Africa,
Rwanda, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Tanzania, Chad, Canada, and others.

Agricultural Society of Kenya (ASK) Show exhibitions have been very effective as one mode of information dissemination about MHAC’s activities. MHAC has continued to exhibit annually at its stand
within the ASK Show grounds in Kitale and always wins several awards: 15 prizes for the Best Social Organization stand; five prizes for a stand that best interpreted the show theme; 4 four prizes for best Institute of higher learning stand; one for Most Striking Stand; and many prizes for dairy/farm products and life stock including pigs, poultry, and rabbits.
