Kagongo Community Academy, just outside Nairobi, is a low-cost school for the children of the local community who wouldn't otherwise have access to education. The women of the group keep the school open through a combination of hard work and dedication.

In 2009, Compassion CBO set up Kagongo Community Academy, just outside Nairobi. Much like the Compassion School, it is a very cheap school for the children of the local community who wouldn't otherwise have access to education.

In 2012 head teacher, Esther, and a group of nine mothers, formed the Kagongo Women's Group to run the school.

The school currently has 38 students from Nursery Class to Class Six and four teachers - three women and one man. They charge a small fee for each student to attend - to cover the rent and other essentials such as textbooks for the children.

The women of the group keep the school open through a combination of hard work and dedication. Most of them have small businesses or part-time jobs to enable them to support the school as much as possible and they are looking to start some small agricultural income generating projects for the group as a whole such as growing vegetables, to make the future more secure.
