M-Pesa Academy to admit first 94 students next month

Safaricom’s M-Pesa Foundation Academy is set to admit its first lot of 94 Form One students mid next month, raising the bar in Kenya’s corporate social responsibility scene that has seen companies compete to offer scholarships for bright but poor learners.

The Sh3 billion education complex – styled along Starehe Boys’ Centre – plans to admit two needy but bright pupils from each of Kenya’s 47 counties, who will be offered a full four-year bursary covering all their education-related expenses.
