About iLoveResearch

We're passionate about empowering undergraduate students to excel in research through comprehensive resources, mentorship, and community support.

Our Mission

To democratize access to high-quality research resources and mentorship, enabling every undergraduate student to discover their potential as a researcher and contribute meaningful knowledge to their field of study.

Our Vision

A world where undergraduate research is accessible, supported, and celebrated, fostering a new generation of innovative thinkers and problem-solvers who drive positive change in society.

Our Story

iLoveResearch was born from a simple observation: many talented undergraduate students were missing out on research opportunities simply because they didn't know where to start or how to navigate the complex world of academic research.

Our founder, Emmanuel Wandera, spent years mentoring students and realized that the same questions kept coming up. Students needed practical guidance, templates, and most importantly, a supportive community to help them succeed.

What started as a small collection of resources has grown into a comprehensive platform serving thousands of students across Kenya and beyond. We're proud to have helped launch countless research careers and academic journeys.
