Uamuzi Foundation launched a social media platform that offers civic education and connects the electorate to their leaders.  Through the Uamuzi Foundation, the European Business University is offering 5000 hardship scholarships to Gen Zs in Kenya as they continue taking action to hold their leaders accountable. "The protests taking place in Kenya (Gen Z) and those taking place in Bangladesh have a common thread: that of civic and social responsibility. Join us in pushing forward for the common good. We are offering 5,000 hardship scholarships through our partner Uamuzi Foundation to Gen Z in Kenya," said Mulli in a LinkedIn post. What are courses offered at European Business University Mulli said the hardship scholarship program will offer Gen Zs in Kenya the opportunity to enroll in a diverse range of courses designed to equip them with essential skills for personal and professional growth.

Over 40 Courses in Business Administration, AI and Technology, Project Management, Compliance, Education, English among others are available in the coming term.
