About me

Joshua Arimi

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.

Hopefully, I will be like you in the near future. Why I say so? I will open up a website like in South Sudan.

Thank you Dr. for availing KCSE Past papers.
I would like to know how we can link with you so that I can chat about a a mission school that I sponsor in Tigania Meru called Kioni Generations High school.
The school is situated Near Meru University of Science and technology. Currently the school is not performing well and I want to to expose them to the secret of revising past papers. I have real passion of helping my village have a lot of graduates because it lacks so behind in education. It is a village that was not lacky to have any one champion the interest of education and development and so most people are very poor and the youth without high school education recycle poverty.

Thus I need past papers with answers . I envy your education and the passion you have over excellent education . I pray that we have more and more Merus like you. I need more talk with people of your kind of blessings.

God bless you as you serve man kind.

Pastor Peter
