Githogoro free school

Our School

We are building a high standard modern Container primary school suitable for an informal settlement (slum) in Githogoro, Nairobi, Kenya - to provide high quality education for poor families living below $365 per year. Our aim is to give free access to education for children who have no access to education so they can break out of the vicious cycle of extreme poverty. We have recently purchased the first 1000 sq meters of land.
By 2026, with your help, we aim to purchase another 3,000 sq metres.
