Our Story
Our story begins in 1961, when Strathmore College opened as East Africa’s first multiracial institution of higher learning, founded on dignity, service, and equal opportunity.
In 2016, that story entered a new chapter with the establishment of the Strathmore University Foundation, a dedicated vehicle to steward philanthropy, build sustainability, and advance the University’s mission for generations.
Today, SUF continues this journey, by mobilizing resources for Africa’s development.

Our Journey
The Foundation and Strategy 2025 - 2035
Sustaining the Legacy
The Foundation’s 10-year milestone coincides with the groundbreaking of the Kevin O’Byrne STEM Complex. The complex is a symbol of Strathmore’s future direction and its commitment to building Africa’s scientific and technological capacity.
The courage and conviction of the Strathmore pioneers has shaped an institution that continues to stand for equality, integrity, and service. These values were forged under challenging historical circumstances.
Today, the Foundation contributes by supporting a wide range of high-impact initiatives:
- Scholarships
- Endowment Growth
- Research & Innovation
- Collaboration
