KCA University celebrated its Inaugural Founders’ Day to commemorate its past present and promising future at a dinner gala on Friday, 2nd August 2013 at the Safari Park Hotel, Nairobi. The celebration brought together the university core founder CPA Joe Muchekehu who was the chief guest,the university chancellor Prof. Auther Eshiwani, the Vice Chancellor Prof. Noah O. Midamba and former vice chancellor,Prof. Daniel Oruoch who was also first KCA university vice chancellor.

Representing other core founders were BOT chair CPA Ameer kassim-Lakha, Dr. Martin Oduor Otieno, CPA John Wanjala-the first African  principal KCA mong other distinguished corporate personalities and invited guests.

As part of the celebration KCA University launched an endowment fund to support scholarship of the students which realized over Kshs 4 million. Currently, the university has a student financial aid program funded from internal resources which are not adequate as it can only admit 120 entrants per year despite hundreds of deserving applicants received. The program has since benefited over 1,000 underprivileged but ambitious students since its inception. Through the program,the university,has witnessed tremendous positive transformation in the lives of the beneficiaries’ which has been extended to their families and societies from which they hail. The reason for setting up the endowment fund is to make this financial aid initiative bigger and more sustainable.

 KCA University’s history dates back to July 1989 when the institution was set up by ICPAK as Kenya College of Accountancy (KCA). Today, KCA is a Chartered University . Going forward, Founders Day will be an annual event in the university’s calendar when it will celebrate its birth, rich past and promising future: the past as we honor the bold leaders who dared to dream of KCA University, and the future as we learn from the most outstanding founders, staff, students and alumni whose contributions portend great things for the future vis-a vis building a sense  heritage , traditions and long-lasting relationship as KCA University fraternity.

The ceremony  also saw recognition of individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the university. At KCA University, we believe that the best contribution we can make to national development is through education.the university invites all well wishers to come on board and make the endowment fund a success.
