We are incredibly proud to share that our Cohort 8 alumnus and student at USIU-Africa, @danny_ercy was selected as a 2026 Rhodes Scholar! Danny will be pursuing an MSc in Modelling for Global Health at the University of Oxford, based at Oriel College. 🎉 In his words: "KamiLimu gave me the confidence to aim far beyond what I once thought possible. Growing up in Burundi, I had little exposure to opportunities like the Rhodes Scholarship, and the idea of pursuing such a path once felt unimaginable. Through KamiLimu, what once seemed out of reach became something I could genuinely work toward and achieve." Specifically, Danny cited gaining holistic skills such as scholarship writing, public speaking, and responsible innovation as having been instrumental in preparing him for the application and interview processes. Congratulations, Danny!

We have now selected 40 mentees from 15 Kenyan universities after a rigorous 4-stage selection cycle that was supported by 60 of our alumni and mentors as essay reviewers and interviewers. This was our largest applicant pool yet, with a 72% increase in applicants compared to last year, all from 43 universities. We are glad that holistic out-of-classroom mentorship infrastructure is much sought after & needed! Congratulations to everyone selected! And thank you to our community who continue to give us strength and support. ✨

The application cycle for Cohort 10 is now open until Feb 8th, 2026. Are you an undergrad student pursuing a tech-aligned degree at any Kenyan university & interested in combining your classroom learning with holistic skills? Check eligibility & apply. kamilimu.org/apply

We pride ourselves in being an educational infrastructure right from the application stage. We give feedback to all the applicants on why they do not proceed to the next stage. We also share review metrics for essays & interviews to those who reach these selection stages, for their future learning. So whether or not an applicant is accepted into the program, we provide formative feedback to support skill development. ✨

The cohort 10 mentee application cycle is now closed. All applicants have received a confirmation email. We received twice as many applications compared to last year! This is evidence that structured, out-of-classroom learning for holistic skills is in high demand. With hundreds of applications in, our work is cut out for us. We look forward to selecting the next cohort of 40 who will join us in this pivotal year, when we turn 10. ✨

I had the best time preparing for this conversation. I'm really glad Dr Chao is the first person I hosted a conversation with, she was so careful with her responses and had such detailed preparation notes. I'm so happy you rated our chat so highly. It was delightful.🥳

Our 8-month program complements classroom learning with holistic skills in: 1. Personal development (e.g., how to learn, public speaking) 2. Professional development (e.g., résumé writing & tech interview prep) 3. Responsible innovation (e.g., human-centered design & tech ethics) 4. ICT skills across 4 tracks - Cybersecurity, Data Science, Software Engineering & Cloud Infrastructure - applied to build an end-to-end solution 5. Scholarship readiness (e.g., academic excellence & research skills) 6. Community engagement (e.g., industry-led sessions & tech community contribution)

@KamiLimu Love how you’re mixing personal and pro growth with hands-on thinking. When those pieces line up, people start taking bolder swings without getting stuck on perfection.
