By John Kariuki

The Kenya Education Fund announced today that Dominic Muasya, has been named as its Executive Director.

Muasya has been with KEF since its founding more than 20 years ago first as a volunteer and then as a full-time employee. As KEF’s Country Director he has successfully implemented KEF’s mission while shepherding the organization’s students and increasing its impact.

He takes over from KEF’s founder Bradley Broder who passed away unexpectedly earlier this year.

“As a steady and compelling advocate for KEF, we are confident that Mr. Muasya has the vision, capabilities and dedication to grow the organization,” said Mittie Rooney, Chairwoman KEF – US board. “We look forward to his leadership as he continues to move KEF forward and impact education in Kenya.”

KEF provides economically disadvantaged students in Kenya with scholarships, support and educational resources for them to improve their lives and communities. Since it was founded, KEF has provided education to more than 4,000 young Kenyans who now support themselves and their communities. In 2022 alone the foundation has offered more than 320 form one students scholarships.

“We have come a long way as an organization, having started with only one student. Those who have passed through our program have been transformed. However, our communities still need support. The task ahead is enormous and requires all of us to work together,” said Dominic Muasya, Executive Director – Kenya Education Fund.

“I am honored to take this appointment. As I steer this ship to new horizons, I am optimistic that together we shall continue providing a bridge to better lives and breaking the cycle of poverty. I believe that everyone can be self-reliant through education.”
