Educate Your Own is a student supporting student initiative with the aim to raise money to assist the needy students in school. It tries to make sure that no student drops out of school because of financial issues. They try to raise finances by having car wash sessions in schools at an affordable price and also barbeques.
They also try to go around the classes in school and try as little as ksh50 from students who are willing to contribute. Most people think that USIU-Africa is basically a school for the rich only but it’s a university with students from diverse backgrounds like any other. This club tries to make students to stay in school and pursue their majors in university.
EYO has managed to grant scholarships to 14 students in need, equaling to 25% of the student’s semester fee. This year EYO partnered with Kavash, an organization which is passionate about giving back to the society. Kavash partnered with EYO to sell bucket hats and 20% of the proceeds was donated to EYO. Their target for this year was 2 million Kenyan shillings and Kavash was committed to help them raise this amount.

CHANGING THE WAY PEOPLE VIEW USIU
ACADEMIC WISE
Many people take usiu students as students who don’t know what they want in life, students who don’t go to school, students who are spoilt because everyone is rich of which that is not true, students who do anything they want but all this has been a myth. Many people think that academics in usiu are easy but to prove this wrong usiu is very strict academic wise. Each student is supposed to work hard failure to that there are academic dismissals after being warned several times and attaining the pass mark is not easy at all.
One is supposed to work hard , attend classes of which that is compulsory because each course has seven misses past that you get an immediate f grade , one is supposed to finish all individual assignments and group work on time failure to that you repeat the course. Our exams are also not easy but if you read well throughout the semester you will pass. Our grading system is also high.
If you get a 59 percent and below that’s an immediate F grade thus one is supposed to work hard not to reach there.A grade is 90 percent to 100 percent.HANGING THE WAY PEOPLE VIEW USIU
