What We Do
Welcome to Fanusi Study Centre
A harbour for the holistic growth of university ladies. We are located along Dorobo road; right next to Nairobi Primary School. We offer the following facilities:
RESIDENCE
At Fanusi residence, university ladies are provided with accommodation that heralds a serious study atmosphere as well as a family ambiance. The close proximity of Fanusi to the universities located in or near the CBD is also advantageous to the students.
LIBRARY & CONFERENCE ROOM
A spacious and well stocked library is made available to students. Literary material on Arts, Science, Law, Medicine and Mathematics, are provided here, not forgetting cultural material like novels and encyclopedias. We also have a conference room suitable for round-tables discussions.
CHAPEL
A beautiful oratory where one can do personal prayer in front of the Blessed Sacrament. This is where we have spiritual activities such as weekly meditations, daily Mass, monthly recollections and confessions
Fanusi Alumnae
These are ladies who have blossomed and flourished as a consequence of taking part in the past activities offered at Fanusi. Having benefitted from this, they are more than willing to lending a hand.
Fanusi alumnae is an important part of the Study Centre as it provides support for the activities run in the Study Centre, especially through mentoring and professional career advice.
MISSION-To nurture a two-way nourishing relationship between the Fanusi Alumnae and Fanusi Study Centre.
VISION– To have a vibrant alumnae to which current students will be eager to transit to on completing college/university and where the alumnae and the study centre have a mutually beneficial relationship.
