AFYA ELIMU LOANS

Afya Elimu was established in 2013 and launched in 2016, under a Public- Private Partnership (PPP) initiative aimed at providing training fees for needy students in medical training. The Fund focuses on middle level cadres such as nursing, laboratory technologists, clinical officers among others who form the bulk of the country’s health workforce. AEF is a revolving fund that provides low interest loans (4%) to students to meet their tuition fees. The Fund offers affordable loans to needy students pursuing pre-service medical training at mid-level colleges (diploma and certificate level only).

How the Fund works

• Administered by HELB as an affordable loan product anchored as a revolving fund in which repayments are ploughed back to support new trainees.
• An interest rate of 4% per annum is charged to beneficiaries of pre-service loans. Beneficiaries then have a one year post graduation grace period before commencing repayment.
