The Uongozi Centre is a unique programme at the M-PESA Foundation Academy that aims to enhance the leadership potential, develop skills in independent thinking as well as assist our learners to incubate business ideas and community projects. The Centre also seeks to support the transition of secondary school scholars into university and other tertiary institutions.
The diversity represented by the Uongozi Centre scholars, faculty and staff contributes to the Centre’s strong sense of open dialogue and engagement with ideas and issues. As such, we are a community that prioritises the intellectual, physical, social and emotional well-being of all our members.
The MPESA Foundation is the main funder of MPESA Foundation Academy and the Uongozi Centre, providing its capital expenditure, operational expenses and funding for the tertiary education of the scholars from the academy. The MPESA Foundation is fully funded by MPESA Holding Company Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vodafone Group PLC.
