Unicaf continues to strengthen its commitment to making quality higher education more accessible through strategic partnerships and community engagement across Kenya. Recent activities with Gulf African Bank and the WIWIN Women Conference have reinforced Unicaf’s mission to empower professionals and aspiring leaders through flexible, internationally recognised online education.
Following the signing of a partnership agreement with Gulf African Bank earlier this year, the Unicaf team conducted a series of branch visits to engage employees and raise awareness of the educational opportunities available through the collaboration.
During the visits, Unicaf Country Manager, Ms Winnie Rachael, presented Unicaf’s internationally recognised Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degree programmes, highlighting the flexibility of its online learning model and the scholarship opportunities available to Gulf African Bank employees. She also celebrated the success of the partnership to date, noting the growing number of employees who have already benefited from the scholarship programme while encouraging others to take advantage of this opportunity to invest in their professional and personal development.
Employees across the bank’s branches received detailed information about academic programmes, admission requirements, scholarship opportunities and the application process. The sessions encouraged lively discussions, with many staff members expressing a strong interest in pursuing higher education to support their career aspirations.
Unicaf also participated in the WIWIN Women Conference, an inspiring event that brought together women leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals and emerging changemakers to explore themes of leadership, empowerment and personal development.
As part of the conference programme, Unicaf Country Manager, Ms Winnie Rachael delivered an engaging presentation on the relationship between leadership and education. She emphasised the transformative power of lifelong learning in developing confident, capable leaders and encouraged delegates to continue investing in their education to unlock new career opportunities and create lasting impact within their communities. Her presentation generated enthusiastic discussion and significant interest among attendees wishing to further their studies.
A key milestone of the conference was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Unicaf and WIWIN. Through this partnership, WIWIN members will gain access to exclusive scholarship opportunities for internationally recognised Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degree programmes. The collaboration reflects the shared commitment of both organisations to empowering women through accessible, affordable and flexible higher education, leadership development and continuous professional growth.
Throughout the conference, Unicaf welcomed delegates to its exhibition stand, where attendees learned more about available scholarship opportunities, academic programmes and the admissions process. The exhibition attracted considerable interest and generated valuable engagement with prospective students.
These initiatives demonstrate Unicaf’s ongoing commitment to building meaningful partnerships that expand access to quality higher education while supporting leadership development, career progression and lifelong learning. By working alongside organisations that share its vision for empowerment and professional growth, Unicaf continues to create opportunities that transform lives and strengthen communities.
