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.

Hi Jaffer,
I see you are taking the right step. However, I am not in a position to wisely advice you on the choice of the subjects. I suggest that you talk to a high school teacher and they will advice you better. All the best.
Hi Dr.
Kindly pinch yourself hard for you are truly the son of the people. honestly this is a cool idea. I’m a teacher and your site is overwhelmingly useful.
Kudos

Hi Zack, I prefer communicating by Email. Please use the email on this website to get intouch. All the best.
hi joshua
congrats for the good work, what do u do to students to make them aware of this site like for my case i didnt know and i believe that there many high school students who dont know specially from upcountry schools.
Thanks Mary,
Slowly I am communicating with different schools by sending them cards with the information on the website.
Thanks for that good observation.
Hello good Dr!
Nice work you are doing here. Am teaching in Kitui and have started a website where teachers,schools,lecturers can share learning materials online easily-kind of just what you are trying to achieve here only that my system allows anyone to register and upload files which can then be downloaded by others from any internet connection.
I feel a strong connection to what you are trying to achieve and I humbly request we cross-link each other. I’ll do that today. You may grab my logo on my website and position it anywhere you feel ok. Talk more later and best wishes.
Hi Mutua,
I have checked your website and it is good.
The objective of my website is specifically to freely help Primary and High school Kenyan students with revision materials that will enable them pass their exams.
My service is not file sharing. Sometimes shared files are pirated which is illegal. I respect copyright.
We can liaise to achieve the objective of helping Kenyan students to pass their exams.
I look forward to working together with you.
Hello Joshua,
Thanks for getting back to me and for the compliments about my site. My idea for File Sharing is for teachers to upload their original works like exams, revision note for students and other teachers to download and use. I also have alot of past exam( district mocks) which I want to share with students and teachers. See them here http://www.kessnet.com/mycabinet/view_profile.php?id=1.
Because I bought these exams, I’m also looking for a way of selling them to students and teachers in digital form. Any ideas?
Talk soon.
Hi Steve,
I will email you.
Merry xmas.
Thanks Joshua and Merry Xmas too!
