The people behind
1,200 life-changing journeys.
Founded in Eldoret with a simple belief: every Kenyan student who wants to study abroad deserves a real shot — regardless of their grades, gaps, or past rejections.
Born in Eldoret.
Built for every student.
Kelanda International Agency was founded in Eldoret, Kenya, with one mission: to make world-class international education genuinely accessible to Kenyan students — not just the ones with perfect grades and clean records.
From our offices on the 9th Floor of Daima Towers, we have guided over 1,200 students to universities in Australia, Malta, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Each placement represents a real person, a real challenge, and a real result.
What makes us different is not the easy cases — it's the hard ones. Students who were told no by immigration officers, rejected by other agencies, or struggling with academic histories that don't tell the full story. We assess every profile professionally, build honest strategies, and see the process through to the end.

"Every student who walks into our office carries a dream. My job — and the job of every person on our team — is to make sure that dream has a realistic, credible, and achievable path. We don't sell promises. We build plans."
When I started Kelanda International, I had seen too many bright Kenyan students turned away — by visa officers, by agencies who only handled "easy" cases, and by a system that often doesn't account for the full story behind a CGPA or a study gap.
I built this agency specifically to handle those hard cases. Not to cut corners or mislead anyone, but to do the thorough, honest work that gives every student their best possible chance. That means root-cause analysis on visa refusals, narrative-building for study gaps, and programme matching that leads with strengths rather than weaknesses.
To every student who has been told no before — we are here. We assess fairly, advise honestly, and work hard until we find a way forward.

How we treat
every single student
These aren't slogans on a wall. They're the standard we hold every consultation, document review, and visa submission to.
Honest guidance
We will never tell you what you want to hear if it isn't true. We give you a realistic picture from day one — including when a particular route isn't viable — because that's the only foundation a successful application can be built on.
Document precision
Every application we submit is reviewed multiple times for completeness, consistency, and compliance. Visa officers look for gaps and contradictions — we close them before submission. Strong documentation is our core professional standard.
Student-first decisions
Every recommendation we make is driven by your goals, your timeline, and your budget — not by which institution gives us the best commission. We match you to the option that is genuinely best for your profile and career.
Speed with care
We move efficiently because intake deadlines are real. But speed never comes at the cost of quality. We have systems for fast document processing without cutting corners on the checks that protect your application.
Full accountability
We stay with you from your first inquiry to the day you board your flight. If something changes — a document request, an interview, a complication — we respond. You are not passed to a junior consultant and forgotten.
No judgement, ever
We don't judge your CGPA, your gap year, or your visa history. Everyone who comes to us is assessed on what they have and what they want to achieve — not measured against an idealized profile they don't fit.
