We have bought the land, now we’re raising $1.2M to build, equip and launch the school by August 2027.

This five-story building, Kibera's tallest, will serve 270 students, educating children aged 11 - 18, expanding upon the foundation of our primary school. From this building, we will graduate young adults, ready to create meaningful, resourceful, impactful lives for themselves, their families and the community.

"This school will have a transformative effect on this community. We will graduate young adults into work that pays $1500+ a month in today's dollars, a 30X increase on their current families' earning capacity. One class of 30 children, generating $540,000 of annual income, trickling back to the community, lifting their families out of poverty."
