Maasai Mara University Benchmarking Visit on Endowment Fund Establishment

A delegation of three Senior Officers from Maasai Mara University visited the University of Embu (UoEm) on Monday, 14th April 2025, for a benchmarking exercise focused on the establishment of an Endowment Fund.

The team was warmly received by the Acting Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Academics, Research, and Extension, Prof. Paul Nthakanio, who shared insights into UoEm's journey in setting up the Fund, which was officially launched on 25th October 2018. The Fund, sustained through investment income, aims to grow to a target of Ksh 10 billion to support financially needy students.

Earlier, on Saturday 5th April 2025, UoEm held its 2nd Endowment Fund Award Ceremony, during which over 386 students received financial aid amounting to Ksh 3 million.
