Great Lakes University of Kisumu

Welcome to Great Lakes University of Kisumu

Great Lakes is an inter-denominational Evangelical Christian Institution. It is an off-shoot of the Tropical Institute of Community Health and Development (TICH) in Africa - a non-profit community based training, research and development trust which has been operating since 1998. The main aim of GLUK is to develop effective managers of health and development initiatives in the Africa Region. This is done by bridging training with service delivery programs, focusing on the needs of the most vulnerable communities in the society. It develops, tests and disseminates hands-on innovative and effective models through action research.

The University is established in accordance with Rule 9 (1) – (3) of the Universities (Establishment of Universities) (Standardization, Accreditation and Supervision) Rule 1989.

GLUK brings together regional and international academics, professionals and practitioners in health and development of diverse backgrounds to pool their skills, expertise and experience in addressing issues of livelihood through capacity building and research for policy development.
