in 2010 , matthias took over the lead of the swiss chapter of aiducation , still in a voluntary role . at this time , he was working as a management consultant in the food & transportation industry . as his enthusiasm for aiducation grew , he increasingly felt the imbalance between his voluntary work and his consulting job ; the consulting job was all about maximizing corporate profits ; this was in strong contrast to his work at aiducation , which focused on creating impact for motivated and deserving individuals . he found himself at a crossroads when he was confronted with the opportunity to become a partner in his consulting company in 2013 . he made the decision to quit his consulting job , and to support the development of a sustainable business model for aiducation together with a team of about 10 students and young professionals from across the globe .

all aidufellows are highly motivated because they know that education is their only chance to achieve their dreams . every successful applicant to the aiducation scholarship program has high goals that play an important role during the pre - selection process of aiducation international . they know that the scholarship offers them a new chance in life . interim reports document the scholar’s progress and attendance . should the scholar decide to skip school for some reason , or drop out of the program entirely , the aidumaker is consulted and the scholarship can be transferred to a more motivated student - but such cases are extremely rare .
living on poverty : to say organizations like aiducation are living on poverty is like saying that hospitals and doctors are living on cancer and diseases . we are not living on poverty but trying to get rid of it with an innovative and promising approach that has been widely neglected in the past .

in september 2007 , a small group of entrepreneurial ph . d . students founded aiducation international switzerland . as the first scholarship - raising chapter , the swiss team worked closely with the first talent - raising chapter in kenya to develop the concept and processes for aiducationinternational , which laid the foundation for a global organization .
we have never applied for any government grants . at one time we approached the swiss development aid organization , the deza and asked if they are interested in working together . their answer was that they prefer working directly together with government agencies , rather than foundations , companies , or for - impact organizations like aiducation .
aiducation prefers to describe itself as a ‘for - impact organization’ rather than a non - profit . everybody is still receiving very low salaries , and everybody in the team works individually . there are now 2 . 5 ftes employed within the swiss chapter and about 10 volunteers invest at least 5 hours a week . matthias says
“the very first moment i heard about aiducation , i wanted to know more about it , and the more i heard about it , the more i wanted to become a member of this incredible versatile and enthusiastic team . i am convinced of the concept , impressed by the way it is realised and proud to participate . ”
ai : erik and david , the two of you are now an integral part of the aiducation family , and you have both faced very different challenges… erik , what challenges have you faced in your work ? e : there are many challenges in my everyday work for aiducation . naturally we have a constant problem of finding appropriate resources . all of our employees work on a volunteer basis , but traveling around the country to visit schools and keeping in touch with students does cost money as well . since most donations go directly into school costs this makes us highly transparent , but sometimes causes us to worry as well because we do need a certain amount of funds to keep going .
we have official charity status in switzerland , this means donations ( e . g . as an aidumaker ) to aiducation international schweiz are exempt from taxes ( official letter ) . most of our team members are volunteers and receive no salary from aiducation . with the additional support of our aidupartners , it is therefore possible for us to pass on at least 90 % of your donation to cover the school fees of your student . contact us today if you would like to join our team or support a student . the swiss team currently consists of about 20 team members , most are volunteers , working out of zurich and basel . we would like to introduce some of our leaders , listed below
in order to keep abuse probability as low as possible , the money for the fees is transferred directly to the school . thanks to the various cash prizes aiducation has won in the recent years and thanks to partnerships with wonderful aidupartners , our administration costs are covered so that at least 90 % of the scholarship donations can go towards school fees .
“to be part of aiducation , my aspiration for a meaningful , sustainable activity is fulfilled . for me , education is the cornerstone for every further step , no matter how small , into a better future . investing my time in this goal makes me proud and gives me the strength to shape my private and professional life with energy and humour .
“a new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move toward higher levels . ” ( albert einstein ) this can be promoted by the education itself , if the generations of tomorrow are supported by act of solidarity as aiducation international , so that they actively support their society in the future on their own and develop their land . “
we explain to the aidufellow ' s that they have no obligation to aiducation international or the aidumakers whatsoever except to work hard , complete their schooling successfully , and give back to society afterwards . direct contact between an aidumaker and an aidufellow is restricted and detailed contact information is not released to the aidumaker until the scholarship has ended and only if both sides agree to disclose .
aiducation international’s aidufellows are selected for their potential to positively impact their society . as they contribute to building their home country , they multiply the aidumaker’s impact and shift it from an individual to a social ( regional and even national ) level . consequently , it is expected that each scholarship will not only have a short - term impact but also a mid - / long - term impact .
founded in september 2009 , our uk chapter of aiducation international is working hard to raise donations for scholarships . we have official charity status in the uk and in our first year we raised more than 25 scholarships to cover the fees students must pay for four years of high school in kenya . every member of our team is a volunteer and doesn’t receive a salary from aiducation and this makes it possible for us to pass on at least 90 % of your donation directly to the students . our dedicated volunteers are primarily located in cambridge and london but we are expanding into more regions . contact us today if you would like to join our team or make a donation . the uk team currently consists of 17 volunteers in cambridge and london . listed below are the most active members
leads volunteers and fundraising as a volunteer on a part - time basis . simona is a finance manager and earned degrees at the university of virginia and cambridge .
i believe in the power of education . it empowers people to make a lasting impact in their society . as a volunteer for aiducation , i help students learn and i also learn new skills myself by working alongside talented business professionals .
there is an old saying : “give a man a fish , you feed him for a day ; teach a man to fish , you feed him for life . ” aiducation follows this approach with an impressive passion and professionalism by giving gifted underprivileged students access to higher education . i am proud to be part of this team and make a small contribution to improve their country’s economic , social and political development .
is there anything more beautiful than touching disadvantaged children’s life , giving them a chance ? yes , there is – if at the same time you also touch and influence the whole nation positively . building people , building nations is what we do at aiducation . i am very happy to be a part of an organisation with such a great mission and to be able to contribute as well as to open this possibility to others .
“ education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world . ” ( nelson mandela )
we find ourselves in a challenging time where this powerful tool is needed more than ever to solve local , regional and especially global issues . through aiducation , this vital tool is made available to highly talented students with a vision on how to use this powerful weapon to have the greatest possible impact on their community , their country and the world .
ai : what motivates you to continue working for aiducation ? e : my past experience and the fact that others who face the same situation may not have the same strength or the will to make it against all odds is the biggest motivation above all . and this coupled with the fact that other colleagues of the organization also give the same dedication with high accountability in the process , honesty , openness and sacrifices . lastly , seeing people like david succeed is a motivation .
in kenya , the aidufellows typically attend good to very good public boarding high schools . why do we focus on these top schools ? - after the standardized national exams in primary school , these are the schools which select the best students . aiducation international only supports high - performing students , and these are the students who have been chosen to attend one of these top schools . however , since they are coming from a humbly financial background , they often cannot afford to attend these schools without a scholarship .
“one of our applicants once said : ' education is the only key . ' that is what i believe in ! it is the only key to personal success , development and , hence , making an impact in the world . being part of this entrepreneurial and committed team motivated me to co - found this inspiring organization which has the most convincing concept to give back to society . in the near future , aiducation international will be a synonym for the most efficient and effective ngo worldwide , i ' m sure . ' ”
this short - term impact is assessed in the progress reports giving information on the academic performance of each aidufellow and on the aidufellow’s extracurricular activities and special achievements . one of our aidufellows , for example , is obrein telly who recently led a small team of students to donate approximately usd400 for victims of a famine in kenya . his efforts were honored with an article in one of the two national newspapers ( see press archive ) . students like obrein telly serve as proof of the short - term impact of aiducation international’s approach .
yes , in kenya at least 90 % of the funds donated by aidumakers go to school fees . fundraising and administrative costs are covered by aidupartners and the remaining 10 % . in the philippines , where secondary education in public schools is for free , we spend at least 90 % of each scholarship on the mentoring program . in the event that we lose our aidupartners at the global level in the future , the founders of aiducation international have agreed that at least 90 % of future donated funds should be dedicated to scholarships .
aiducation international ( ai ) has a clear and transparent focus and is a unique player in today’s ngo market . it only invests in education . ai believes education is the most effective strategy to realize potential , and each scholarship donated is invested into education only . ai scholars are selected for their potential to positively impact their society at the economic social , and political level . as they contribute to building a better kenyan society , they multiply the impact and shift it from an individual to a social ( regional and even national )
the short - term impact is the impact while an aidufellows is still at school : thanks to each scholarship , high - potential students can finance their high - school fees . by providing this opportunity , aiducation international and our aidumakers a ) give a perspective to financially dependent students who want to succeed and motivates them to excel in their studies ; b ) bring forward a minority group of top performers previously not identified ; and c ) assist this top - performing group into existing schools , thereby raising the academic level and benefiting the entire country .

swiss re start up academies are unique 5 day workshops in kenya : young , eager , talented , and entrepreneurial kenyans , who received high school scholarships from aiducation team up to turn their business ideas into start - up ventures ready to take off . each team receives tailored support from an exceptional mixture of speakers and mentors comprised of kenyan entrepreneurs and international swiss re staff . thereby the swiss re start up academy helps students develop outstanding business opportunities with the potential to create jobs and build a better kenya . read our blog story for more on the swiss re start up academy .
you can donate via paypal ( including credit card ) or bank transfer to the bank accounts of the aiducation chapters listed below . all incoming donations will be pooled and board of advisors ( boa ) will allocate the funds to selected start - ups from the aidualumni community . the boa will be governed by a strict code of conduct and pre - agreed constitution . successful start - ups must pay back the funds received so that other business ventures can be financed , thereby making this fund revolving . stay tuned to our blog to see some of the start up fund ' s success stories .
our scholarship prices represent average costs for 4 years of secondary education . however , fees can vary from school to school , country to country , and year to year , and currency issues also play a role . if the amount paid by the aidumaker is higher than the actual fee charged by the school / our expenses for that particular student , the excess amount is transferred to a fund . if the amount is less than the actual fee , the scholarship is topped up with money from that fund . the fund is entirely dedicated to finance aiducation ' s charitable purposes . we can , therefore , keep our promise that at least 90 % of funds donated by aidumakers go toward the education of high - potential students from a financially humble background .
our most important partner on the ground is jeremy kiponda kambi , who co - founded the organization in kenya . 19 years ago , he was a “high potential” candidate himself , whose family could not afford to send him to secondary school . he was lucky enough to obtain grants from a service club and is now a doctor . two years ago , he decided to pass on some of his good fortune , as the gap in the school system that almost cost him a promising future back then still exists to this day . hence , he founded “aiducation international” with some friends and , one year later , kristin kapitza and i joined him and his team . jeremy is an excellent managing director and manager – the paragon of what we are looking to achieve with our grants .
we recently received the tragic news of the sudden death of our beloved aiducator nicolas nägeli . nicolas tragically lost his life on saturday , 19th march 2016 , while on a snowboarding - tour in the alps . he was together with a friend on the aletschhorn - glacier where he was doing what he passionately loved . nicolas abrupt and tragic death has left us in deep sorrow and with a sense of a great loss for this immensely bright , talented and gifted human being . his unique personality enabled him to participate in multiple areas and excel . nicolas was highly committed to aiducation , working in the swiss chapter since 2013 as vice - ceo helping our organisation grow and develop . through his untimely death we have lost a dear colleague and a trusting friend . his legacy will continue to inspire us .
ai : what were your reasons for joining aiducation , what convinced you ? e : my educational past was faced with lots of challenges as well , less because my parents were not able to pay , but due to other family - related issues… my father left my mother when i was very young and refused to pay for my schooling . at one point i no longer attended school , but ended up sitting for the final exam . i passed the final exam , and the principal – having seen my potential – allowed me to go to school without asking for school fees . to make a long story short , i had no one to help me out with both personal issues and school fees and had to really struggle to make my schooling a success . that is why i know the importance of being helped when it comes to education .
