INCOME GENERATING PROJECTS UNIT STATEMENT

Due to the magnitude of such venture, the University has adopted a step-by-step model in which small-scale manufacturing of different products will be done. Lessons learnt will then inform upscaling of these into full-fledged commercial ventures that can attract substantial income for the University.

All the University products are certified by the Kenya Bureau of Standard (KEBS) for commercialization.
