Welcome to The Kerio Valley University College

It is my pleasure to welcome you to The Kerio Valley University College (KVUC), the first university institution in the Kerio Valley and a constituent college of the University of Eldoret.

KVUC was established to bring quality university education, training and research closer to the communities of Elgeyo Marakwet County and the wider Kerio Valley. Our pioneer students are part of a historic beginning. Together with our staff, partners and the community, we are building a College whose graduates will transform their communities and the nation.

Our vision is to be a university of excellence in knowledge generation, innovation and environmental sustainability for socio-economic transformation. We pursue it through comprehensive and experiential learning, applied research that answers the needs of our region, and partnerships in agriculture, commerce, education and environmental conservation.

Whether you are a prospective student, a parent, a partner or a visitor, I invite you to explore our programmes, visit us in Tambach and join us on this journey. Karibu KVUC.
