The Harambee Muyoka Scholarship Program is a collaborative initiative with St. Andrew's Secondary School Matale to transform lives by providing talented, underprivileged students the chance to pursue education and leadership opportunities. Since 2002, Harambee has supported St. Andrew's by building crucial infrastructure like science labs, water harvesting systems, and safe dormitories for girls, creating a strong foundation for academic success. Now, we are shifting our focus to empowering people—particularly bright students who lack the financial means to reach their full potential. By investing in young people today, we are building a brighter, more self-sustaining future for the communities of Matale and Kalisizo. Our goal is to nurture 100 future leaders over the next decade, individuals who will, in turn, inspire and mentor others.
2024 Cohort
We proudly launched the Harambee Scholarship Program in 2024 with a cohort of five(5) exceptional students, each chosen for their resilience, academic potential, and leadership qualities. Despite facing financial hardship and long daily commutes to school, these students have shown remarkable discipline, strong academic progress, and a deep commitment to their community. They are excelling in the classroom and stepping up as school leaders, timekeepers, and sports prefects. It’s their drive to overcome adversity and their potential to lead that made them stand out. These students represent the future leaders we aim to support—bright, determined, and eager to serve their communities.
How You Can Help Us Make a Difference
We invite you to partner with us in supporting these scholars by making a donation, sponsoring a student, or collaborating with us through in-kind contributions. The Harambee Scholarship covers half of the student's tuition, provides leadership training and mentorship, and offers essential scholastic materials. With an annual investment of $500 per student, you are not just funding education—you are empowering young leaders to uplift their communities.
