Daystar is a Christian liberal arts university in Nairobi.
Daystar's original campus is close to Nairobi city centre, but there was no room to expand at that location.
Therefore, in the last decade a new campus has been built at Athi River, some 40 km to the south-east of the city, on the Mombasa Road which became the main campus. This development has been largely as a result of work of the vice chancellor of Daystar, Professor S. Talitwala.
Daystar University prides itself in training broad-minded critically thinking graduates. It has five schools and thirteen academic departments which include
