The Director of Macmillan Medical Training College, Josephat Moses, has officially launched the Afya Bora Scholarship Program alongside the Women in Tech Empowerment Program in a move aimed at expanding access to education and empowering Kenyan youth.

Speaking during the launch, Moses said the initiative seeks to support students from vulnerable backgrounds who are unable to afford college fees despite having the passion and talent to succeed.

“Today’s event is about the future of Kenya. It is about the young person who has completed Form Four but cannot afford college fees,” he stated.

The Afya Bora Scholarship Program will offer full and partial sponsorship opportunities to students pursuing accredited medical and healthcare courses. According to the institution, the initiative is designed to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity while helping address the shortage of healthcare professionals in the country.

At the same time, the college unveiled the Women in Tech Empowerment Program, a fully sponsored initiative targeting women aged between 18 and 40 years. The program aims to increase women’s participation in technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

Moses noted that technology continues to shape economies globally, yet many women remain underrepresented in the sector.

“We cannot speak about digital transformation while excluding half of the population from the digital economy,” he said.

The director further called on the government to support students in private institutions, arguing that many deserving learners continue to face barriers in accessing educational funding.

He emphasized that institutions like Macmillan are committed to producing employable, competent, and innovative graduates who can contribute to Kenya’s healthcare and economic transformation.

The launch also highlighted the institution’s alignment with the government’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including quality education, gender equality, decent work, and innovation.

Moses urged media practitioners and digital creators to help amplify the message and restore hope among young people struggling with unemployment and lack of opportunities.

“We remain committed to practical training, innovation, healthcare transformation, and youth empowerment,” he concluded.
