“I landed on a gold mine a few months ago — The Bridge programme. It allowed me to see the need for problem solving and bloated me with knowledge about personal branding, among other professional skills.”

Stela Gitahi, UoN 2023

Bridge graduate, Cohort 1

“It's been one of the most transformative journeys I've personally undertaken this year. Some of the technical skills I picked up during the program like data, I have directly implemented in my business. This is stuff I didn't even think I could do on my own. Last but not least is to mention the amazing community behind the bridge, amazing folks with laser focus on what they want to make of their lives.”

Alcollins Murimi, JKUAT 2023

“Allow me to appreciate what you do at Bridge. The facilitators not only stand out as mentors but also as leaders. Totally aware of where they are coming from and a clear vision of where they are going. They are to be admired, and I'm honoured to have met them in my journey. From the mental models to the presentations and interactions, I'm becoming a better person in my relations both professionally and socially. And I am already loving who I am becoming”

Rahab Wambui, MKU 2021

Bridge graduate, Cohort 1

"The program was quite insightful, and boy am I glad to have signed up for it. I must commend our facilitators for their tremendous efforts, in not only setting out an extensive curriculum but also engaging us during discussions and giving us the latitude to express our own thoughts and views. I am proud of their initiative because they are actively expanding the skills necessary to enhance the lives of university students from all over Kenya.”
