US-based MLIFE Foundation is seeking to revolutionise health care and education programmes in Kenya to ensure access through injecting resources.
Foundation’s President Mwangi Mukami said they will partner with the government towards improvement of healthcare targeting epileptic patients and establish technology hubs for the youth through a Sh10 million kitty.
He spoke at Splash Park in Ndederu in Kiambu, during the 15th memorial services of his three brothers Mike Kariuki and Eyan Ganji, Mwangi Mukami who died after they suffered from epilepsy.
“This significant investment comes as a response to a personal tragedy that befell my family, leading to the tragic loss of my brothers due to inadequate healthcare services,” said Mukami.
Mukami emphasised the commitment to enhancing the quality of healthcare by investing in the Monim Biosis Health Medical (MBH)Centre to prevent similar tragedies from occurring to any Kenyan.
On education programmes, he said, he would initiate strategic partnerships with US-based social philanthropists and entrepreneurs, Jennifer Carolyn King and Timothy Charles Fredel, to introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) learning centres in the country.
“Inspired by the potential of AI in empowering youth, I will work towards establishing IT centres focused on equipping young individuals with essential AI skills that will shape their future endeavors,” said Mukami.
Mukami attended Kawangare primary school in Dagorreti North Constituency where he assisted in establishing an ICT laboratory for use by the learners.
