Strathmore Foundation

As the Strathmore University Foundation marks ten years of advancing access to transformative education, we are grateful to everyone who has believed in our work and shared in our vision. To our donors, partners, sponsors, volunteers, alumni and wider community, thank you for the trust you have placed in us. Your generosity and commitment continue to open doors for students, strengthen our institution and create opportunities for lasting social impact.

Our first decade has reinforced the importance of working together towards a shared purpose. We recognise that expanding access to education, advancing research and supporting community development require sustained collaboration across sectors. By bringing together individuals, businesses, philanthropic organisations, academic institutions and development partners, we can mobilise the resources, knowledge and expertise needed to respond to society’s evolving needs and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

One of our most significant priorities is the Kevin O’Byrne (KOB) STEM Complex, a landmark investment in the future of science, technology, engineering and mathematics in Africa. Named in honour of a pioneering engineer, educator and founding figure of Strathmore, the Complex will provide an environment where talent can flourish, research can advance and innovation can address real-world challenges. The groundbreaking of the Complex in March 2026 marked an important milestone in this journey. We invite individuals, families, alumni, corporates, foundations and institutions to join us in bringing this vision to life. Every contribution counts. Whether through a financial donation, a strategic partnership, technical expertise or other forms of support, each contribution brings us closer to creating opportunities for future generations.

We are equally grateful for the growing community that continues to rally behind our mission through the Strathmore Annual Run. This year, our sixth edition brought together over 3,083 runners, alongside 61 Corporates, united by a shared commitment to expanding access to education. Together, we raised KES 11 million, supporting scholarships, bursaries and our Endowment Fund. To every runner, corporate partner, sponsor, volunteer and supporter who made this possible, thank you for turning your participation into meaningful opportunities for students. Your continued support reminds us of the power of collective action and the difference we can make when we run for a common purpose. We look forward to welcoming you back on the track in 2027, as we continue running towards a future where every deserving student has the opportunity to access transformative education.

We also remain committed to building a community in which knowledge is shared, relationships are nurtured and partnerships deliver meaningful results. Our engagement with Prof. Africa of IESE Business School, through a masterclass on sustainable partnerships, reflects the importance of strengthening our collective capacity to build collaborations that endure and create shared value. We believe that effective partnerships extend beyond immediate needs; they bring people together around common goals and help create solutions that benefit institutions, communities and future generations.

Looking ahead, we invite you to remain part of the Strathmore University Foundation’s journey. Partner with us to expand access to education, strengthen research and innovation, support community initiatives and advance sustainable development. Together, we can turn shared aspirations into tangible outcomes and help build a future in which more people have the opportunity to learn, contribute and thrive.

Thank you for believing in our vision and walking alongside us. We look forward to deepening our partnerships and creating even greater impact in the years ahead.
