Living and studying in the United States can be a life-changing experience, but it also presents unique challenges, especially for international students.
Bob Mwiti, a specialist in The KENYA Airlift Program, shares invaluable tips and counsel to effectively handle the intricacies of studying outside one’s homeland, as well as navigate the tricky path to US residency. Vital to studying abroad is finding a support system and encouragement from welcoming individuals who could host green card lottery beneficiaries moving to the US. This support goes beyond mere hospitality; it plays a vital role in helping international students secure suitable employment, offering essential guidance for adapting to a new life, and bridging the gap between dreams and the practicalities of living in the US.
Recently, the program introduced the Permanent Residents Program through the green card lottery option, aiming to assist qualified Kenyans in navigating the intricate process from applying for the green card lottery to smoothly settling in the US. Parents often have difficulty discovering suitable schools for their children, However, the KENYA Airlift Program presents a rare fix. Introduced in the latter part of 2018 by a US-based education and tech consultant Bob Mwiti, this bold scheme offers financially-challenged studious youngsters in Kenya a platform to pursue higher education in the US. Its growth is notable and widely lauded for such proven results.
The program’s mission is achieved with the help of collaborative partnerships with different entities. MPOWER Financing, the authorized lending entity, offers unsecured student loans which cover all educational and living expenses. Furthermore, partnerships with reputable US universities have enabled discussions for scholarship grants and tuition fee concessions. This program is also affiliated with Airlift Sacco which assists in financing student’s relocation costs, while Qatar Airways provides airfare at discounted rates. These partnerships are integral to the program’s mission of empowering Kenyan students and making their dreams of studying in the US a reality.
