About Income-Share Agreements

Zindua School works with Chaptr Global to avail and offer income-share agreements to students who cannot afford the program. An income-share agreement allows you to only pay 50% of the program and pay the rest once you are earning. Note that an ISA is not a LOAN and payments are based on one’s income; if you are earning nothing, you pay Ksh 150 only in that calendar month.

Through our ISA, you will only have to pay Ksh 15,000 per 5-week module instead of Ksh 30,000. If you want pay upfront instead, the total upfront fees will be Ksh 60,000 instead of Ksh 120,000. In short, you only pay for 50% of the program if on an income-share agreement.

Once you graduate and are earning, you will pay 10% (Income-share rate) of your gross monthly income for 24 months. Students will have the option to pay-off their income-share contract during any time of their contract if they’d like to complete the repayment term earlier.

Salary Floor: If you are earning below Ksh 24,000 per month, you pay Ksh 150 ONLY towards your income-share agreement on that month. This is to protect low-income earners who are on a tight monthly budget. Payment Cap: If you are a high earner, you will NOT pay more than 2 times the tuition investment you receive from us. Thus, the cumulative repayment cap is Ksh 150,000. Grace period: Repayments start as soon as you get a job on graduation or after the 6-month grace period.

This financing plan is only open to learners who are in their final year of university or have a diploma or have Bachelor’s Degree already. To get accepted into the contract, you will have to submit your official identification details, go through a credit vetting process, and fully sign an income-share contract through Chaptr Global. Note that there will be sessions on ISAs run by Chaptr Global to educate anyone interested in an ISA at least one-week before you join the program.

Flexi Plan (Lipa Mdogo Mdogo)

Zindua School has partnered with Chaptr Global to allow parents as well as students who are not eligible for our income-share agreement to pay in smaller longer-term instalments. Instead of paying KES 30,000 every 5 weeks for 5 instalments, you can now pay KES 13,750 monthly for 12 months. Yes, the payment plan extends beyond the program length.

  • You’ll end up paying 8% more under the flexi plan. This is better than any interest rate available in the current market.
  • You will have to go through a credit vetting process, handled by Chaptr, to ascertain that you can afford the monthly payment plan with no stress.
  • For students who expect their parents to make fee payments, it is the parent that will go through the vetting process and not the student in this case.

50% Money-Back Guarantee

Graduates are entitled to 50% money-back guarantee if they do not get a job within 12 months of graduation. This does NOT apply to learners in income-share agreements or on the flexi plan (lipa mdogo mdogo) from whom we have already taken up too much risk. Our incentive is to offer nothing but quality.

  • Graduates will be required to show active job applications at least 5 monthly. We’ll support you as much as we can in your job quest
  • If enrolled in a full-time educational program, the guarantee countdown is paused up until completion of the educational program
  • The guarantee window is 6 months if one sits and passes the official certification exam by Microsoft, Google or AWS on graduation
