Each year, an increasing number of Kenyan students are packing their bags — and their dreams — for Russia. What began as a trickle has become a steady stream: 60 Kenyan students are now awarded Russian government scholarships annually, triple the number in 2018.
But it’s not just about scholarships. According to the Russian Embassy in Kenya, hundreds of Kenyan students are currently enrolled in Russian universities, with many more studying on a contract basis. Over 500 attend classes online, bridging time zones and cultures from their homes in Kenya.
