About
The Andrew B. Foundation was formed in 2012 in memory of Andrew B. Masinde who passed away following a tragic road accident. The foundation was formed with the primary objective of providing educational scholarships to talented and financially needy Kenyan students for high school. In addition, these students would be provided mentorship and internship opportunities to ensure that they are successful in their education, and that they become productive members of their communities. ​​
Joshua Makhuma was the first ABF scholarship recipient in 2013.
