Statement by Hon. Dr. Kilemi Mwiria, Founder of The KimKam Foundation

Greetings and welcome to the virtual home of The KimKam Foundation. I am truly honoured to have this platform to share with you the journey and aspirations behind the establishment of KimKam.

As a Member of Parliament and Minister in the Kenya government, my unwavering focus was on advancing pro-poor policies and translating them into tangible actions. I consistently pushed for policies to ensure that the most vulnerable among us are the immediate beneficiaries of bursaries and scholarships, paving the way for affirmative action and allowing the underprivileged to access the best high schools and university courses. Furthermore, I advocated for an employment quota for graduates who hailed
from our nation’s most disadvantaged schools and regions, including girls and women
who have long faced systemic obstacles in pursuing their dreams.

My unwavering commitment to social justice often put me at odds with some of my government colleagues and business community segments. Our society has a
persistent and unfortunate tendency to conflate privilege with merit. However, I firmly believe that the potential to achieve greatness resides within every individual.

KimKam was conceived as a response to this inequality, a commitment to breaking down barriers
and opening doors of opportunity to those who have long been denied.

The raison d’être of The KimKam Foundation stems from a profound belief in the potential of collective action to drive positive change. Our mission reflects this belief: to empower marginalized individuals in education, employment, business, and leadership.

We stand firm in our resolve to dismantle the barriers that have, for far too long, restricted equal access to education, economic resources, and political representation.

We aim to create a society where everyone can realize their fullest potential regardless of background or circumstances. We envision a world where one’s starting point does not constrain opportunities, and the doors to quality education, economic well-being, and political influence are open to all. It is with this vision in mind that The KimKam Foundation was born.We believe in collaborative efforts and sustainable initiatives as the bedrock of our work. Education occupies a central place in our mission, and we are committed to ensuring
that those most in need are the primary beneficiaries of bursaries and scholarships.

We advocate for affirmative action to level the playing field, enabling economically disadvantaged students to access the best high schools and university courses.
Moreover, we strive to establish employment opportunities for graduates from our nation’s most underserved schools and regions for girls and women who have faced systemic obstacles in securing employment and other economic prospects and to
leadership positions at the local, national, and global stages.

The KimKam Foundation is not merely an organization but a catalyst for change. It’s a call to action for all of us to unite, work hand in hand, and usher in positive transformation in the lives of those who most need it. Our vision is ambitious, but it’s also achievable with your support.

I invite you to join us on this journey. Together, we can create a society where every individual can reach their full potential, no one is left behind, and every child, regardless of their circumstances, can dream big and see those dreams become reality. Your support is invaluable, and your collaboration is essential. Together, we can be architects of a brighter, more equitable future.

With Kind regards,
Hon. Dr. Kilemi Mwiria
