Mount Kenya University donations received

This is an online portal with information on donations that were announced publicly (or have been shared with permission) that were of interest to Vipul Naik. The git repository with the code for this portal, as well as all the underlying data, is available on GitHub. All payment amounts are in current United States dollars (USD). The repository of donations is being seeded with an initial collation by Issa Rice as well as continued contributions from him (see his commits and the contract work page listing all financially compensated contributions to the site) but all responsibility for errors and inaccuracies belongs to Vipul Naik. Current data is preliminary and has not been completely vetted and normalized; if sharing a link to this site or any page on this site, please include the caveat that the data is preliminary (if you want to share without including caveats, please check with Vipul Naik). We expect to have completed the first round of development by the end of July 2024. See the about page for more details. Also of interest: pageview data on analytics.vipulnaik.com, tutorial in README, request for feedback to EA Forum.

Intended use of funds: The grant page says the grant is "to support the implementation of a masters degree program in farm animal welfare science, led by Professor Maina Ngotho. [...] This funding is intended to cover costs related to course resources and student research projects.

Donor reason for selecting the donee: The grant page says: "Our farm animal welfare team believes that the program will help develop farm animal welfare expertise and capacity in Kenya and across Africa." Open Philanthropy has previously made grants to support a talent pipeline, but past grants were to UK universities to support masters students in existing programs; this grant supports the creation of a new program.

Other notes: Intended funding timeframe in months: 24; affected countries: Kenya.
