Kabarak University is a private chartered institution of higher learning in Kenya that offers quality Christian-based education, training, research, and community outreach.
The university was founded in 2000 by Kenya’s second President, the late Daniel T. Arap Moi, who also served as its first Chancellor.
His vision was to establish a Christian university that would meet the growing demand for higher education in Kenya while promoting strong moral values.

The university received its Letter of Interim Authority in October 2000 and admitted its first group of students in 2002.
On May 16, 2008, Kabarak University was awarded a Charter by the third President of Kenya, the late Mwai Kibaki, officially making it a fully accredited institution.
