We are excited to announce a strategic partnership between Dreamoval Ltd (Kowri), the leading fintech company dedicated to expanding financial access across Africa, and Mpower, a trusted provider of student loans for international students pursuing graduate studies in the United States and Canada. This collaboration aims to offer affordable and flexible loan solutions to African students pursuing Masters programs in these regions.

Graduate studies funding in Africa is in high demand, yet traditional financial institutions often struggle to provide adequate credit options. Through our partnership, we aim to bridge this gap by offering African students accessible loans that cover tuition fees, living expenses, and associated costs. Leveraging Kowri’s advanced technology platform, we ensure a seamless loan application process, while Mpower’s underwriting expertise guarantees fair and transparent lending practices.

Claud Hutchful, CEO of Kowri, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “At Kowri, we firmly believe that access to finance is crucial for Africa’s economic growth and development. We are delighted to join forces with Mpower to expand financial access for African students pursuing graduate studies abroad. This partnership will create significant opportunities for talented and ambitious African students and make a lasting impact on Africa’s education ecosystem.”

Munya Chiura, Head of Africa Business Development at Mpower, shared the excitement, saying, “We are thrilled to collaborate with Kowri to extend our services to African students, who often face challenges in finding affordable financing options to pursue their educational aspirations. We share Kowri’s vision of making finance accessible to everyone, and this partnership represents a crucial step towards achieving that goal.”

Through the Kowri and Mpower partnership, more African students will have the opportunity to fulfill their educational dreams, acquiring valuable skills and knowledge that will contribute to Africa’s growth and development.

This collaboration aligns with Kowri’s commitment to curating a value-rich ecosystem that enhances access to financial services across the continent. In line with this mission, Kowri recently launched Kowri Protect, the first-ever insurance cover for businesses transacting on our platform.

At Kowri, we are dedicated to empowering African students and fostering their academic success. Join us on this journey as we unlock new possibilities for aspiring African scholars.
