Accompanied by U.S Ambassador to Kenya H.E Meg Whitman, we met with Pwani University Vice Chancellor Professor James Kahindi to discuss the need for innovative solutions to address key challenges in Kenya, including food security, climate change, and creating job opportunities for youth. During our visit, we emphasized the importance of fostering creativity and research in tackling these issues. Pwani University is currently providing a Master of Science in Bioinformatics program, backed by the US Government, which empowers students with the necessary skills to enhance their careers through innovation and research.
