About us

The Langa Langa Scholarship Professional Associations (LLSPA) was founded in 2011 and later officially registered under the Societies Act, Laws of Kenya in March 26th, 2014. It is an association made up of volunteer alumni of the Langa Langa Scholarship Fund, which is a UK based organization. Its main objectives is ‘To promote an all rounded education for bright and needy children and chase away poverty within and around Gilgil, Kenya’. 

The idea of LLSPA was born when a few LLSF graduate and proffesional scholars found an increasing need for a pool of people who could offer both the moral and financial support, mentorship and the career guidance to rural children who had no idea of what rest of the world is all about. From their journey and exposure with LLSF, the scholars felt that they had what it takes in terms of the local knowledge and understanding to enegage with the children and other local stakeholders if education in the community to improve on the acuity and significance accorded to education. 

Before its registation in 2014, the association members took a keen eye at helping their younger LLSF scholars in secondary and tertiary education institutions with mentorship and career guidance as well as engaging the pupils in primary schools enabling them to compete better for LLSF scholarship slots. Later, LLSPA has expanded its operations to reach out to their surrounding community while its membership continues to grow with more graduating from their tertiary education and voluntarily joining the course. 

Currently, the association has 56 members.
