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.

About Our Guest, Lydiah Kemunto Bosire: Lydia is the Founder and CEO of 8B Education Investments, a financial and education technology platform that specializes in lending to African students so they can attend world-class global universities and succeed. A Kenyan national, Lydiah brings her personal education journey, and over eighteen years of work experience focused on issues of international politics, development, and human rights.

Prior to founding 8B, Lydiah worked at the United Nations, the World Bank, and leading global nonprofits. She publishes and speaks on a wide range of topics, including the role of innovative finance in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and the role of world-class human capital in African development.
