our story 

how it all began

In 2012 Tracey Neale-Ferreira from Wales, UK spent 11 months volunteering at a school in Kenya.

​She was so impressed with the resilience of the children and their enthusiasm for learning that she decided
​to come back to Kenya and used her savings to set up a primary school. 
​
​
​​Together with Job Thuo Macharia, a Kenyan citizen, they first constructed 3 classrooms and
​opened at the beginning of January 2014 with Linet, the very first pupil.

WHY KAMBIRWA?​

Picture
Across the area of Kambirwa there are many families living in extreme poverty. 
Most are barely managing to survive on income received from small scale farming. 
​Elderly grandmothers are often left to raise young grandchildren without support.  

Education in Kenya is supposed to be free however there are many 'charges' required to be paid and
finding this money is a constant struggle. 
It is common for pupils to be sent home from school missing valuable learning time until the outstanding fee is paid.
