Program Details

To provide quality education to children in underserved regions of Kenya, with a focus on building community-based schools, training teachers, and offering scholarships.

Poverty locks countless doors, forcing parents to choose between food and school fees. In rural areas like the ASAL counties, schools can be miles away, a trek too long for small legs, especially for girls who face added risks of early marriage or domestic burdens. Droughts and floods, relentless in their cycle, displace families and shutter schools.

We meet these challenges head-on with solutions as determined as the children we serve. Our community-based schools rise where need is greatest—simple structures with desks and chalkboards, built with local hands in places like Kajiado or Kisumu, so no child walks too far. We stock them with books, pencils, and light—sometimes solar-powered—to keep learning alive even after dusk.

Since we started, we've built 15 classrooms where over 1,000 children have traded empty days for lessons in reading, math, and hope. Our 120 trained teachers are lighting fires of curiosity, their classrooms buzzing with questions and laughter. Dropout rates are dipping in the communities we touch, and parents tell us their kids come home with stories, not silence.
