About us
Who we are
Scientists of Kenya Association (SCOKA), a dynamic Science sectorial association responsible for building bridges between communities, societies, and nations through closer interactions between science and diplomacy, elevates the role of science to address national and global challenges in various scientific disciplines.
SCOKA, a non-profit association built under different science disciplines, was born in 2023 via visionary leader Miss Everlyn Kimathi and other members who shared her dream of providing a platform to voice reason in many science disciplines.
Since its establishment in 2023, SCOKA has been a leader in conceptualizing science-related matters as a critical community aspect involving different stakeholders from different scientific fields of study.
The Association demonstrates how science can build bridges between societies where official relationships may be strained, strengthens interactions and partnerships between the scientific and diplomatic communities, and develops the intellectual framework and training to support varying issues affecting the scientific community.
It is structured to provide a voice of reason to people in the various fields of science, protect their needs, and advocate for better services for members.
