Cdc Kemri
The KEMRI/CDC Research and Public Health Collaboration is currently one of the largest collaborations carrying out public health research in Kenya and one of KEMRI’s and the Ministry of Health’s (MoH) main partners. However, it is amazing to note that 30 years ago, the collaboration began in two small rooms located in Kisumu District Hospital and the Kenyatta National hospital with the help of Dr. Harisson Spencer. When 30 year old Dr. Harrison, then an employee with CDC came to Kenya in 1979, to begin the collaboration with the newly created KEMRI, he did not know that 30 years later the organization would have grown to such a great level. A medical officer with CDC’s Bureau of Tropical Diseases Dr. Harisson first arrived in Nairobi in a bid to start a research station with KEMRI mainly focusing on malaria prevention, treatment, and control. The time, which he says was one of the most enjoyable in his life, began what has now become one of the greatest investments in the history of public health research in Kenya. Over the years, there have been enormous changes within the collaboration. From one staff in 1979, KEMRI/CDC now employs over 1200 employees and from one program: malaria, there are now six main health branches within the collaboration each with numerous sub programs. The level of KEMRI/CDC infrastructure at the Nairobi office, at the Field Research Station at Kisumu and elsewhere has grown significantly.

The Presbyterian University Of East Africa
The Presbyterian University An entrepreneurial Christian university The Presbyterian University has a rich history dating back to the days when the first Church of Scotland missionaries landed in Kenya. The university admitted its first degree students in 2008. Today, it has two campuses; main campus in Kikuyu at Thogoto and Nairobi campus on Biashara Plaza at the junction of Moi Avenue and Biashara Street. Presbyterian University cuts a niche for itself among institutions offering entrepreneurial skills to its students. In fact, we want to be identified as an institution that produces job creators not job seekers and we are working towards imparting the same to the Presbyterian University students. For instance the university runs a dairy project within the campus. Here students can learn practically on how to run a profitable business venture. The secret is doing things differently. It is about taking proactive steps to foster a culture of learning, an ethos of innovation and to make good practice the norm. So, what does Presbyterian University offer academically? The Presbyterian University offers educational programs founded on the values of Christian transformational education, research, professional integrity, self-reliance and service to God and humanity.
