Davis Akilah Foundation

The Davis Akilah Foundation, a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is committed to educating and empowering East Africa's future leaders. 

Since 2010, we have been creating transformative educational experiences for our students. As East Africa’s pre-eminent higher education institution, our graduates have launched careers in finance, clean energy, eco-tourism, agribusiness, conservation, technology, and more.

Davis College alumnae join a distinguished network of the region’s leaders and entrepreneurs, facilitating access to unique mentorship and career opportunities, and changing the way young women and men participate in the economy as innovators, technologists, and changemakers.

Within Davis College, the Akilah Women’s Center remains a unique all-female classroom experience for young women to gain the confidence, skills, and knowledge to transform their communities.
