The charity provides a totally free education, a safe and supportive environment, and an opportunity in life to the very poorest and most disadvantaged early secondary age children in Bombolulu, one of the most impoverished suburbs of Mombasa. We select children who, despite their desperate background, have already demonstrated the yearn to learn and improve in primary education.
With no money to pay for even state education, the alternative prospect for many of these children is an early exit from the school system, leading to unemployment, crime, forced early marriage, or exposure to the modern slave trade.
Our aim is to develop the whole child as well as giving them a great education, so they in turn can help the local community to advance and grow.
The charity has previously supported a kindergarten and primary school for poor kids from the same area to expand from 30 to 300 children. This school is now self-supporting, but many of their children had nowhere to go for secondary education.
