Our Story

The AKAD Education Group - Africa was launched in February 2010 when Dr. Weche met the AKAD International founders at Harvard Business School in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Concepts and solutions were refined from 2011 through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) lectures to Executive MBA Degree students at Inoorero University, in collaboration with the Copenhagen Business School. Success by 2014 led to Dr. Weche being ordained by the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) for Youth Ministry.

To date, over 40 successful seminars have been held, with dozens of youth admitted with scholarships to top, world class universities. And hundreds others positively impacted for academic & career success.

Problems & Solutions

Problems - Lack of effective academics & career advising, counseling and mentorship within current educational systems causes many brilliant African youth to “fall through the cracks” and not rise to their true potential.

The gap is due to lack of specific intentionally designed programs for maximum motivation to excellence, with emphasis on leadership, character development, academic & career excellence.

The result?

Students lack vision, with no clue as to what academics & careers to pursue.

Demotivation and lacking knowledge delivers poor academic grades, poor career choices, production & leadership in organisations, business, local and national politics. Yet Africans keep complaining about lack of leadership! Students fail to see Christ or Romans 12:1,2 in these ministry opportunities for God’s glory

Solutions - Our solution is through the Gospel of Jesus; demonstrated through Mentorship Solutions molding aspirations for success. Low aspirations usually caused by poverty, lack of access and knowledge, are an obstacle to long-term upward mobility.

Positive aspirations shaped through intentional training and social interactions with successful peers, leaders and champions. These impact, inspire & influence youth to work towards success. Youth are intentionally introduced to successful professionals in job shadowing, internship and partnerships in entrepreneurial activities.
