We've Reached $13,900 – 4 Additional Mentees Now Coming to RIMPA Live!

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we’ve now raised $13,900 in support of the Kenyan Development Talent Program (KDTP).

This means four additional mentees will be joining us at RIMPA Live 2025 in Melbourne!

Combined with the one mentee already funded by RIMPA as part of our MOU with KARMA, we’re excited to confirm that five talented KDTP participants will now be attending the convention this October.

🎉 Meet the Mentees Attending RIMPA Live 2025:

  1. Quety Marie
  2. Ali Salano
  3. Elsie Cherono
  4. Alex Bundi
  5. Millicent Jepleting

These passionate early-career professionals are eager to connect, learn, and grow alongside our global RIMPA community.


🌍 Why This Matters
This initiative is about more than just travel — it’s about professional growth, cross-border collaboration, and creating life-changing opportunities for the next generation of R/IM leaders. Attending RIMPA Live will allow these mentees to learn, network, and build lasting connections within the global records and information management community.
