The Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Foundation has officially launched its landmark scholarship initiative, Inuka, aimed at supporting students with disabilities across the country. The programme, which began in 2017, provides secondary and now tertiary education scholarships to two deserving students from each of Kenya’s 47 counties.
So far, the Foundation has invested KSh120 million in the initiative, transforming the lives of 745 beneficiaries. KPC Managing Director Joe Sang’ said Inuka goes beyond academics—covering tuition, school uniforms, assistive devices, and other critical needs. “This programme is not just about education; it’s about dignity, empowerment, and breaking barriers,” Sang’ emphasized.
In 2023 alone, nearly half of the students under Inuka achieved university entry grades, a milestone the MD described as a testament to their resilience and the programme’s impact. He celebrated top performers such as Levy Kabesa, Monica Isabwa, and Allan Kwambai, now pursuing their dream careers at university.
To further bolster student success, KPC has rolled out an annual mentorship component of the programme, offering over 370 scholars training in life skills, career development, and personal growth. Highlighting one standout beneficiary, Sang’ shared the story of Caroline Mwangi from Nyeri County as a shining example of what Inuka can achieve.
The expansion into tertiary education and mentorship marks a new chapter for Inuka, reinforcing KPC’s commitment to inclusivity and empowerment through education.
