Hubert
Kairuki Memorial University (HKMU) was established in 1997, being among
the first private universities to be accredited in Tanzania in the year
2000, it has since then received local, regional and international
recognition.
It
was the idea of Prof Hubert C.M Kairuki and his wife Mrs Kokushubira
Kairuki to establish the University, moved by the situation in Tanzania
after independence in 1961, whereby diseases, poverty and ignorance were
declared the country's key enemies.

anticipating the possibility of expanding beyond health sciences.

Kairuki Memorial University, in the honour of the founder, Prof Hubert
Kairuki, after he passed away.
