01
Fund a fellow
A named fellowship covers one Kenyan's tuition, stipend, and residential costs for the full three-month cohort. Multi-year commitments preferred.
partnerships@uongozi.keGet involved.
Uongozi Fellowship is built by a coalition — funders, universities, civic institutions, mentors, and ordinary Kenyans who refuse to look away. There is a place for you here.
Ways to support
Six ways to partner.
02
Institutional partnership
Foundations, universities, and civic organisations that want to co-deliver curriculum, share research, or convene our fellows with their networks.
partnerships@uongozi.ke03
Mentor a cohort
Whistleblowers, investigative journalists, judges, auditors, and public servants who can spend a weekend a month with the fellows.
mentors@uongozi.ke04
Host a placement
Newsrooms, oversight bodies, and ethics offices willing to take one fellow for a four-week embedded placement during month three.
placements@uongozi.ke05
Amplify our reach
Media partners, event conveners, and community leaders who can help open the fellowship to applicants from every county — especially outside Nairobi.

Give as an individual
Small, recurring gifts from Kenyans and friends of Kenya are the backbone of our independence. Everything is disclosed in the annual donor list.
hello@uongozi.keOur principles
What we will and won't accept.
No political money
We accept no funding from active political parties, sitting officeholders, or contractors of the Government of Kenya.
Full disclosure
Every donor and every institutional partner is named in our annual report, along with the amount and any restrictions attached.
Curriculum independence
Partners do not shape selection, curriculum, or the fellows' subsequent work. Support underwrites the program; it does not steer it.
