Kenya's Education Initiatives Gain Momentum with Inuka Scholarship Program Expansion
Published on 4.7.25
The recent event highlighted the government's efforts to promote education globally, with notable examples including the launch of the Inuka scholarship program by Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba in Kenya. The program has supported 745 students across all 47 counties with tuition, uniforms, and assistive devices over its eight-year history.
This year's expansion to include tertiary education is expected to significantly boost the number of beneficiaries. Chitkara University's Stick Buddy, a smart assistive device for the visually impaired, won an innovation competition in India, demonstrating the potential of education to drive technological advancements.
The success of these initiatives underscores the importance of investing in education and providing opportunities for students to develop innovative solutions that can positively impact society.
