aiducation

In 2006, Jeremiah Kiponda Kambi and some close friends gathered to address one of the biggest problem in his beloved country, Kenya - the large percentage of talented students who drop out of school because they cannot afford the fees for high school. Several years previously, it had been a scholarship that had allowed Jeremiah to become a physician and he felt that funding the school fees for deserving students would benefit the whole community. The idea to give opportunities to high-potential students with financial need immediately appealed to Dr. Kristin Kapitza and Dr. Florian Kapitza who were visiting Kenya at that time. From there, Jeremiah, Florian, Kristin, Dr. Eva Köberl, and others founded Aiducation International with the team in Kenya identifying deserving applicants and the team in Switzerland raising scholarships and pushing the idea forward. Today, dozens of Aiducators, most of them on a complete voluntary basis, make Aiducation International possible. They are students and young professionals who are passioate about giving bright and needy student access to education and thereby access to their potential.

The case of building nations by building people: 

‘Education is the most useful weapon which you can use to change the world”- Nelson Mandela

Education is the strongest lever for personal development, and capable, active citizen are the strongest lever for long-term, sustainable change. Together with our donors (AiduMakers) we award merit based scholarships to bright and motivated, financially disadvantaged students in developing countries. These 4 year scholarships cover two main areas:

Building People With each scholarship you provide a talented student who lacks the financial means to formal education.

Building Nations Every scholar receives mentoring, training, and coaching and becomes part of our unique network of future decision makers that will drive their country forward in an economic, political and social way.
