We’ve Reached $11,440 – 3 Additional Mentees Now Coming to RIMPA Live!

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we’ve now raised $11,440 in support of the Kenyan Development Talent Program (KDTP) — which means three additional mentees will be joining us at RIMPA Live 2025 in Melbourne!

Combined with the one mentee already funded by RIMPA, we’re excited to confirm that four talented KDTP participants will now attend the convention this October.

🎯 Just $2,500 to Go!

Our goal was to raise $45,000 to bring ten KDTP mentees to Melbourne for RIMPA Live 2025.

While there are 10 mentees in total, five are unable to attend this year — so our focus is now on ensuring the remaining five don’t miss out.

We currently have enough funding to support four mentees, and we’re just $2,500 away from fully funding the fifth.

Let’s keep the momentum going — with your help, we can bring every available mentee to RIMPA Live and create an unforgettable, career-shaping experience!


🌍 Why This Matters

This initiative is creating life-changing opportunities for future R&IM leaders. It’s not just about attending — it’s about professional growth, international collaboration, and building lasting global networks in the records and information management sector.
