As we celebrate 5 years since the inception of Impertimus, our story of change has always been based on the following Key Questions.

  1. How do we help parents educate their children with ease?
  2. How do we ensure #100%transition of children from primary school to secondary school?
  3. What things do children for transition? Books, uniform, school fees and other items. How much do they cost? Are parents #preparedfinanciallyto meet these costs?
  1. For #schoolretention, how much does a household need to retain their children throughout their academic journey of 4 years in secondary school? Keeping in mind most of parents Impertimus works with have 2 or 3 children in secondary school. How much they need per academic year or term to ensure children do not spend time home because of unpaid school fees? What do children need in order to stay in school to achieve their dreams?
  1. What support is available to help parents educate their children? The available options are #fullscholarshipfor top students, #bursaries and #wellwisher’s contributions.  Are the above solutions #inclusive? Do they support all students regardless of their marks? Do they cover all the education cost?

Impertimus exist to cover this gap by providing an #inclusivecommunitydriven #financialoption for parents to educate the children.

Impertimus is #repurposing savings in Chama done for business to #education for parents to save for transition cost.

Impertimus is #repurposing well-wisher contribution and donations, group contributions to support education for just one term to a #revolvingfund available to help the parent keep their children in school for whole academic journey.

 

Yes, our solution has evolved over time since we started but the above questions keep guiding Impertimus’ vision.

WHAT DO WE DO WHEN THE INEVITABLE HAPPENS
(In the midst of #COVID19)
It is easy to lose sight of the vision as a #socialenterprise
It is easy lower down the tools and #Wait
It is easy to think and feel #powerless
It is easy to… (Put what you’re facing here – we all are facing something)
.
Working from home, brought us to a moment of self-reflection i.e
=What do we stand for?,
=What do we want to achieve?
=Who are we serving again?
=What? When? Where? Why? How?
(I bet you also came down to these questions whether in your home or the workplace)
As an emerging #financial social enterprise, the #pandemic gave us an opportunity to revise our #ideology behind everything we seek to do at Impertimus Education Investment.
We accept the new normal, not to cripple us but build a stronger will in us.
Below is our IDEOLOGY. Have you found yours? Please DO NOT step out without one, whether it is a personal mantra or an ideology like ours. You’ll need it!

Growing up amidst the challenges of accessing quality education in Kenya, the co-founders of Impertimus Education Investment, Katama and Beatrice, were driven to create a solution.

Katama

Their personal experiences shaped their vision and ignited their passion for transforming the education landscape.


Katama, raised by a single mother in a humble background, faced significant hurdles during his transition from primary to secondary school. He resorted to unconventional fundraising methods, seeking support from public offices and well-wishers to cover his basic needs and tuition costs. Despite his remarkable performance, his future remained uncertain for a prolonged period, exposing him to the struggles faced by countless households in educating their children.

Tragically, after losing his mother, Katama encountered similar challenges during his transition from secondary to tertiary education. His initial scholarship was terminated due to funding shortages on the sponsor’s account, leaving him in a state of uncertainty once again.


Beatrice shares a parallel story, witnessing her parents’ struggle to provide education for her and her four siblings. The recurring expenses often forced them to miss days of school as their parents sought tuition fees and other necessities.

Working as a social worker in the community, Beatrice encountered children facing even more dire circumstances. She witnessed firsthand the unpreparedness of many parents when it came to addressing the financial burden of education. Limited scholarships, bursaries, and well-wishers were their only hopes, mirroring Katama’s experience. The reality of low-income households struggling to meet basic needs while facing the daunting costs of education became all too familiar.


These collective experiences motivated Katama and Beatrice to establish Impertimus Education Investment (IEI).


Together, they embarked on a mission to empower families to plan for their children’s education, breaking the cycle of uncertainty and limited opportunities.

With a deep understanding of the struggles faced by Kenyan families, Impertimus Education Investment aims to bridge the gap by providing accessible financial instruments tailored to the needs of low-income parents. By doing so, they hope to uplift student morale, enhance academic performance, and open doors to brighter future prospects.


The founders’ personal journey and commitment to transforming education have become the driving force behind Impertimus. Their dedication to creating sustainable solutions ensures that every child, regardless of their economic background, has an equal opportunity to receive a quality education and unlock their full potential.

Together, Katama and Beatrice inspire change, spearheading an education revolution that empowers families and paves the way for a brighter future for all.
