Strathmore University Onboards for the Global Pro-bono Summit Africa 2026
Building Academic Partnerships for Social Good
The Global Pro-bono Summit Africa 2026, hosted and organized by the Jitolee Good Friends Foundation, is proud to announce a major milestone in local capacity building. Strathmore University has officially onboarded as an institutional partner through its renowned Community Service Centre (CSC) / Service-Based Learning (SBL) office.
This partnership bridges academic excellence with hands-on social impact, embedding skilled youth participation directly into the core of Africa's pro-bono ecosystem.
Why This Collaboration Matters
Strathmore University has long been a trailblazer in integrating Service-Based Learning (SBL) into higher education. By encouraging students across disciplines ranging from technology and law to business and financial analytics to apply their skills to real-world community challenges, Strathmore aligns directly with the core values of the Jitolee Foundation and the Global Pro Bono Network.
Through this onboarding, the summit will feature dedicated engagement tracks for academia, showing how universities can serve as perpetual incubators for pro-bono talent and social innovation.
"Pro-bono work is not just an optional corporate activity; it is a fundamental duty of skill-sharing that begins in the classroom. Partnering with Strathmore University’s Community Service team allows us to nurture Africa's next generation of ethical, community-minded leaders."
— Fredrick Sadia, Founder of Jitolee Good Friends Foundation
