Jeph Odhiambo a student leader and fresh graduate at LARMAT,  has always dreamt of expanding his horizons and acquiring knowledge in the field, he was passionate about- agriculture. Born and raised in Kenya, he knew that in order to make a significant impact in the agricultural sector, he needed to pursue higher education beyond his undergraduate degree.
