List of HELB Huduma Centres in Kenya
The Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) has announced that students and loan beneficiaries can now access their services at select Huduma Centres and cybercafes across the country.
This is a welcome move that will make it easier for students and loan beneficiaries to access HELB services without having to travel long distances or queue for hours.
According to HELB, the board is physically present at 28 Huduma Centres across the country.
These include Nairobi-GPO, Machakos, Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu, Kakamega, Kisii, Nyeri, Embu, Kitui, Bungoma, Lodwar, Meru, Thika, Kitale, Kericho, Nandi, Murang’a, Garissa, Narok, Migori, Chuka, Kilifi, Taita Taveta, West Pokot, Bomet, and Makueni. This means that students and loan beneficiaries can access all HELB services at these centres.
In addition to the physical presence at the Huduma Centres, HELB has select services available through Cybercafes at five Huduma Centres in Nairobi, and 18 other Huduma Centres across the country. Students and loan beneficiaries can access these select services at the cybercafes located at these centres.
HELB has also made it easier for students and loan beneficiaries to access their services through technology.
Accessing through USSD code
This includes the use of USSD code *642#, which can be accessed on any mobile phone, as well as the HELB portals for students, loan beneficiaries, and employers.
The HELB mobile app is also available for download on both Android and iOS devices, and a virtual agent option is available on the HELB website.
The move by HELB to make its services more accessible is a step in the right direction. It will make it easier for students and loan beneficiaries to access the services they need, without having to endure long queues or travel long distances.
This will not only save time but also reduce the cost of accessing these services.
In conclusion, HELB’s move to make its services more accessible is a commendable one. Students and loan beneficiaries can now access all HELB services at select Huduma Centres and cybercafes across the country, as well as through technology.
This will go a long way in empowering dreams and enabling students to access higher education without financial barriers.
