Our Partnership with Strathmore University

Transforming Africa Initiative Since its founding in 1961, Strathmore University has had a tremendous impact on Kenya and on generations of students who have come to our campus seeking knowledge, direction, and a sense of purpose. It is a journey that has seen Strathmore become part of the solution for a developing nation by nurturing the creative energy and drive in young talent to inspire and transform society. It has been a journey that seeks to create relevant solutions for a greater Africa by Africans.
As we enter a new stage of development, within a globalized context, there is need for building competencies pertinent in a fast paced world. Contribution from higher education institutes for sustainable development is imperative and cannot be ignored. Yet our contribution to this process is different in signal ways. We just don’t seek to build capacity for Africa. For us it is about Transforming Africa through Leadership.
