Education

MaaCom recognizes that continuous acquisition and transfer of knowledge and skills are critical for sustainable community development. Investing in youth education is, therefore, a vital pillar of our strategy.

We are committed to supporting education by sponsoring students in colleges and universities through bursaries, in collaboration with well-wishers and strategic partners. In addition, MAACOM is working closely with learning institutions to design tailor-made Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) courses, enabling out-of-school youth to acquire essential entrepreneurial skills that empower them to create their own employment opportunities and contribute meaningfully to society.

This focus on education and skills development directly complements our economic empowerment pillar, aiming to reduce poverty levels within the community. It particularly addresses the critical challenge of youth unemployment, which currently stands at 67% in Kenya, according to the Kenya Federation of Employers Youth Employment Report 2025.

1. Bursary Support

To promote access to higher education among vulnerable households, MAACOM provided one-off bursaries to 100 needy students from Kajiado County who are enrolled in various colleges and universities. This support not only enabled the students to remain in school but also provided much-needed financial relief to their parents and guardians.

The bursary initiative reflects MAACOMs commitment to breaking the cycle of poverty through education. Going forward, MAACOM aims to partner with other like-minded organizations to expand the reach and duration of this support, ensuring that more students from disadvantaged backgrounds can access and complete their education.
