Board Members

My name is Peter Ndiang’ui, a professor at Florida Gulf Coast University located in Fort Myers, Florida. I also serve as the Founding President of Nyeri Diaspora Leadership Academy (NDLA), Inc. In that position, I warmly welcome you on board. We are so honored that you have chosen to visit our website. We’re a nonprofit agency dedicated to delivering transformative life-changing education programmes to our community members.
NDLA was launched in February 2023. It is one of the major projects initiated by the Nyeri County Diaspora Advisory Committee. This committee was put together after I was appointed as the Honorary Ambassador of Nyeri County by Governor Mutahi Kahiga.

When the committee was formed, one of the major issues it embarked on was supporting the children who were not able to join the high school after doing extremely well in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE). Within a week, the committee raised about half a million Kenya Shillings to send 20 children to school. The committee then realized that just paying tuition was not enough. There was a need for empowerment to let those children know that just because they come from low-income families, they have been endowed with something greater – their intellect and passion to learn.
