East Africa has one of the youngest populations on the planet and a school-going cohort that has roughly tripled in a generation. That demographic reality has built an education sector that runs from village primary schools and secondary academies through TVET colleges and universities to a thriving private tutoring market and a rapidly maturing edtech industry building platforms in Nairobi, Kampala, and Kigali.

The education businesses listed on EABD include schools at every level, training institutions, language and exam-prep tutors, edtech platforms, learning-management vendors, and ancillary services from uniforms to school transport. Parents, students, and corporate L&D teams can compare verified providers by location, programme, and rating, and reach out directly to the school or tutor without going through a marketing agency.

About Kenya

Kenya is the largest economy in East Africa and the regional hub for finance, technology, and aviation. Nairobi hosts the UN's only African headquarters, the Nairobi Securities Exchange, and the African operations of most multinationals working in the region. Beyond the capital, Mombasa is the busiest port on Africa's east coast, Kisumu commands lake-side trade, and a fast-urbanising belt of secondary cities such as Nakuru, Eldoret, Thika and Machakos anchors economic activity in every county.

EABD covers all 47 counties of Kenya. You can browse businesses by county, by major city, or by industry-specific landing pages that combine geography and sector. Verified Kenyan businesses on EABD cross-reference KRA PIN, business registration (eCitizen / BRS), and where applicable sector-specific licensing (CBK for banking, IRA for insurance, NCA for construction). The result is a directory that buyers, partners, and the diaspora can actually rely on.
