Moi University, Eldoret, Kenya - Foundation of Knowledge
Description
Moi University is located in Eldoret, a distance of 310 Kilometers Northwest of Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya. It was established as the second University in Kenya by an Act of Parliament, the Moi University Act of 1984. Moi University was established as an institution of Science and Technology with relatively small component of arts based programmes. The first group of 83 students was admitted in 1984 through a transfer from the Department of Forestry, University of Nairobi. It was the first department in the pioneer Faculty of Forest Resources and Wildlife Management.
Since then, the University has experienced phenomenal growth from the initial one Faculty in 1984, to 8 Faculties, 4 Schools, and 1 Institute in 2004.
The rural setting and scenery of Moi University provides an excellent quiet atmosphere for intellectual activity and recreation in the growing Western Kenya tourist circuit. The University is situated near Eldoret town, which is a rapidly growing industrial town and a gateway to central Africa. This atmosphere enhances interaction between researchers and the rural community and promotes cost-effective implementation of outreach programmes for sustainable development, such as health education and intervention, intervention, Legal Aid Clinics and Fish farming.
