Universities are increasingly leaning on their graduates for financial, professional, and reputational support at a time when most of them are reeling under debt and management crises.

The University of Nairobi Alumni Association is preparing for its second annual 10-kilometer fundraising walk on September 27, 2025. Last year, the initiative raised Sh2.4 million, channelled to support needy students in an effort targeting Sh50 million.
