Barely weeks after The KENYA Airlift Program premiered its first episode of The KENYA Airlift Program Show, last weekend a second episode was released that showcased Pauline Wambeti’s incredible journey, from a small village in Githimu Embu to the prestigious University of Delaware in the US.
Pauline’s journey to pursuing a Master of Science in Business Analytics was not an easy one. After spending years working in corporate jobs and feeling stuck in her career, she knew that she needed a change. The program provided her with the opportunity to transition and grow in ways that she never thought possible.
Her family also attested to her hard work and dedication, as we interviewed them and they shared in her excitement.
Prospective students who watch the show will undoubtedly be inspired by her journey and be encouraged to pursue their own dreams with the same level of determination. By sharing her success story, Pauline is not only celebrating her own achievements but also giving hope to others who may be struggling to find their own path.

The KENYA Airlift Program is an award-winning initiative that helps brilliant Kenyan Students achieve the dream of studying in the US regardless of their financial background.
The program was founded in late 2018 by US-based education & technology consultant Bob Mwiti in collaboration with a Member of County Assembly of Meru Hon. Dennis Kiogora popularly referred to as DMK.
The program’s mission is achieved through key partnership with MPOWER Financing as the official lending partner for unsecured student loans that cover both tuition and living expenses, partnership with universities in US where the program negotiates tuition fee waivers and scholarships, partnership with The Airlift Sacco to help finance students’ relocation expenses and partnership with Qatar Airways who offer discounted relocation air tickets to the students.
The program only accommodates ambitious and incredibly talented Kenyans who are willing to take a leap of faith in joining the tech industry by studying STEM or business-related master’s programs.
This award-winning program is trying to fix three major challenges Kenyan Students face in their quest to study in America, namely:
- Acquiring funding for relocation, tuition and living expenses.
- Finding well-paying jobs after graduation
- Acquiring permanent residency in America after graduation
The program is divided into two options; regular and parallel, which are based on the student’s academic qualifications and financial capabilities.
Regular student’s academic requirement is a B plain mean grade in KCSE with a B plain in Mathematics or Physics and a second class division in undergraduate, whereas Parallel students’ academic requirements is a C+ mean grade in KCSE and a second class division in undergraduate.
The program has an active membership of about 2000 students, and as of January 2023, the program has seen over 200 students relocate since inception, to study at various top State Universities in the US, with many more currently in the relocation pipeline.
