Enwealth Foundation Awards 360 Fanisi Scholarships Worth KSh22 Million Nationwide

Enwealth Foundation Limited has awarded 360 secondary school scholarships valued at Ksh. 22 million, reinforcing its long-term investment in education as a driver of social mobility and economic resilience in Kenya.

The Enwealth Fanisi Scholarship programme targets academically promising students from vulnerable backgrounds, supporting access to quality education while building character, leadership, and practical life skills.

The awards were presented during the 2026 Fanisi Scholarship Award Ceremony, held under the theme “Empowering the Future Through Education” and the tagline “Building Minds, Character, and Purpose for a Better Tomorrow.”

Preparing Scholars for a Changing Economy

Speaking as Chief Guest, Dr. Mumbua Mbaluka, Head of Institutional Advancement at National Intelligence and Research University (NIRU), urged scholars to align their education with the realities of a rapidly changing economy.

“The future of work is evolving. Education must be matched with practical skills, innovation, and an entrepreneurial mindset. Today’s scholars must prepare not only to be job seekers, but job creators. Skills, creativity, and problem-solving are now as valuable as academic certificates. Do well in school, yes, but also gain skills, remain disciplined, and prepare yourselves to serve, lead, and create solutions for your communities and the nation,” Dr. Mbaluka said.

Dr. Mbaluka further noted that both locally and globally, a growing number of graduates are not absorbed into traditional white-collar employment, underscoring the importance of adaptability, problem-solving, and skills-based learning in modern education.

“We are proud to support 360 bright young minds this year. These scholarships represent more than financial assistance. They are a gateway to opportunity, character development, and a purposeful future. Our commitment to empowering vulnerable students through education continues to grow stronger,” Mr. Monyoncho stated.

He emphasized that the Fanisi Scholarship is designed to nurture well-rounded individuals who are equipped not only academically but also morally and socially to contribute positively to society.

Inspiring Hope Through Personal Testimony

Also addressing the scholars, Mr. Simon Wafubwa, the Group CEO of Enwealth Financial Services, shared a message of hope drawn from his own life journey.

“Your humble beginnings should never deter you from pursuing your God-given potential. Where you start does not define where you will end. With faith, discipline, and the right opportunities, it is possible to rise, build, and impact generations,” Mr. Wafubwa said.

His remarks resonated with beneficiaries, reinforcing the message that resilience, discipline, and opportunity can unlock lasting success regardless of background.

Since its establishment in 2011, Enwealth Foundation Limited has supported over 500 students, investing more than Ksh. 80 million in educational scholarships, mentorship, and holistic development programmes.
