13: Dr. Lydia Kemunto Bosire | Advancing African Excellence Through Education Investments

In this episode we explore the challenges faced by talented Africans who lack the access they need to a world-class education, including long wait lists to get into leading academic programs.Those that do gain access may not be able to fund the education they deserve. This unfortunate reality creates an environment where actually attaining the education a person is qualified for can feel like “winning the lottery”. Joining us is someone who seeks to solve that problem, Lydiah Kemunto Bosire, an accomplished academic, and Oxford-educated doctor of Philosophy in Politics.
