Education is the most important weapon which you can use to change the world” – Nelson Mandela.

In the area we work, the Maasai and other tribes are desperate for a good education but the local schools are very poor. Although primary education in Kenya is compulsory, it is not free. Even state schools have many extra charges that are beyond the very poor Maasai. This results in many children never attending school. We have built this school in rural Kenya to:

• Provide an education to children who would not otherwise go to school and further education.
• Provide an excellent Primary and Junior High School education as a stepping stone to Secondary and Tertiary education in the hope that many qualified professionals will return to help their area.

All the 300 children who attend our school and Secondary schools have UK sponsors. See here for the sponsorship scheme.

Our school is unusual in that it has fully qualified excellent teachers (we had to build teachers’ houses to attract them), electricity, water, a kitchen,  books including a library, 50 computers, broadband internet and many teaching aids. All items we take for granted in the West but sadly lacking in most Kenyan schools.
