Information for students from Kenya

The University of Central Lancashire welcomes students from Kenya. We are proud of our Midwifery and Nursing students who annually travel to Kenya to continue their education and to raise funds for the MaaChild charity. In 2018, they raised £2700 which would help to fund children through four years of secondary education, plus paying for 52 mattresses, blankets and mosquito nets for a bunk bed project at a primary school.
