About me

Joshua Arimi

My name is Joshua Arimi. I was born in Meru, which is a famous district in Kenya. Merians are known  for their strong cultural practices, mt. Kenya climbing points as well as the little known gem, Meru National park.

I attended  Kanyakine Boys High School where I was popularly known as Kabush.

During my high school days I developed a strong bias towards education. I felt that in order to succeed in life, good education is very important. I know this is debatable, but for any meaningful advancement in life we need good education.

I took my Bachelor of Science Degree in Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. After My BSc. degree I proceeded to take a MSc degree in Katholieke University Leuven, Belgium. This was followed by another MSc degree in University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland.

Immediately after that I did a PhD degree in Food Science specialising on Microwave heating of snack foods. When people refer to me as Dr. Arimi, I normally pinch myself to confirm that I am a Dr.

This website is created specifically to act as a source of information and motivation to Kenyan and other African kids. Information posted here is to encourage those  kids that it is possible to achieve similar feat by persistence and a little effort.  I have studied for free for all my degrees except for the first degree. Therefore I believe finances should not be a limiting factor to anyone aspiring to pursue academics.
