The roots of our school started in the year 2001. During this time, there were no structures and the children who were there used to learn under a tree. Our founders, Mommy Sylvia and Daddy Moses, were their teachers. Over time, the school grew. We moved from under the tree to temporary structures, all along this was a primary school.
The Secondary school children used to go to school elsewhere, Mommy Silvia and Daddy Moses would look for sponsorship for them, and some were lucky enough to get sponsorships and could go on to other schools. For these children these fees were enormous!
Those without scholarships became the pioneers of our secondary school. Both schools have now been fully established, the primary school first held its National Examination in the year 2006 while the secondary school held its first National Examination in 2013.
The purpose of the school has remained the same over the years, to give quality education to vulnerable and destitute children from the surrounding community.
Our school also provides free education to over 150 children from the surrounding slums and disadvantaged communities, who attend school mainly due to the free lunch that we provide.
Besides academic lessons, we place special emphasis on spotting the talents in every child and unleashing the full potential in him/her. Thus our school program spans a wide spectrum that includes traditional dance, music making, football, farming, animal husbandry, etc.
In 2008, our pioneer class sat for their KCPE Exams with the first pupil scoring 426 marks and 9 others scored over 300 marks out of total 500 marks.
In 2009, we achieved a marvelous result of having 3 pupils above 350 and 10 above 300, and the rest above 230 marks.
Of 31 pupils who sat for KCPE Exams in 2010, 5 scored 300 and above marks, and 11 scored above average 250 marks to join high school.
As our children progressed, we wanted to provide them with secondary education to equip them for better chance of employability and self-reliance. So in 2010, we started a secondary school with 3 temporary classrooms within our accommodation block. Students gained carpentry skills while making their own dining hall furniture.
In 2011, we had sufficient funds from donors to lay only the foundation of a secondary school block. We decided to build our dream, bit by bit. Over the next 4 years to 2015, thanks to numerous kind donors, we erected a secondary school block for Form 1-3, and provided school uniforms for all secondary students to give them a sense of dignity.
In 2016, we finally had the science laboratory building. It was a boost to the morale and confidence of the students. We had designed this laboratory block to be possible to have a second storey. Our dream is to have a meditation hall at the second level in the near future.
In 2018, we completed building all secondary classrooms and the laboratory. Thanks to the staff of Safaricom, we constructed for the first time a proper boys' dormitory. Thanks to the Jacoba van Wassenaer Foundation, Netherlands, we built our first-ever proper nursery hall.
We wish to construct a single-story primary school block that will include a proper teacher's room. Our vision is to provide quality nursery-primary-secondary education for our children.
