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’s remarkable reflections can be seen in the success of many master’s graduates.
The program was founded in late 2018 by US-based education & technology consultant Bob Mwiti. This was in collaboration with a Member of County Assembly of Meru Hon. Dennis Kiogora, who is popularly referred to as DMK.
The program’s mission is achieved through a key partnership with MPOWER Financing as the official lending partner. They offer unsecured student loans that cover both tuition and living expenses. Also, the program partners with universities in the US where they negotiate tuition fee waivers and scholarships. Moreover, there is a partnership with The Airlift Sacco to help finance students’ relocation expenses. Additionally, there is a partnership with Qatar Airways who offer discounted relocation air tickets to the students. These partnerships contribute to the remarkable reflections of master’s graduates.
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, furthering the remarkable reflections of its graduates.
