MyCredit Limited, a licensed digital credit provider, and Enkisoma Africa Limited, an education technology company, have signed a KSh 1.2 billion memorandum of understanding to finance the digitization of private schools in Kenya.
- •The partnership aims to address high upfront costs for technology infrastructure by linking MyCredit’s financing product, Kuza Elimu, to equipment and services supplied by Enkisoma Africa.
- •The initiative will provide computer labs, laptops, software, and educational content to schools nationwide.
- •A pilot program will target 150 private schools to boost awareness and adoption of digital learning tools.
“This partnership is a game-changer for educational institutions that have struggled with the capital expenditure required to digitize," said Wangaruro Mbira, MyCredit Managing Director.
"The Kuza Elimu product is specifically designed to remove those financial barriers, and by collaborating with Enkisoma Africa, we ensure that the financing is tied directly to high-quality technology and comprehensive, long-term support,” he added.
The deal builds on MyCredit’s prior efforts to expand funding access for private schools, having secured KSh 1.4 billion from global impact investors Oikocredit and BlueOrchard earlier in 2025.
That financing supported working capital, asset acquisition, and sustainability initiatives for schools, which have grown rapidly in Kenya over the past decade amid rising demand for quality education and limited public school capacity.
