Key Information

They’re not fancy, but the new high school classrooms built by our partners at the Starkid School and Rescue Centre in Nairobi, Kenya paved the way for some two dozen kids to continue their education. The classrooms are used by secondary students from the nearby Githogoro slum. Starkid provides quality education for more than 230 neighborhood children and full-time shelter for nearly 100 orphans and abused youngsters. The school charges tuition for those who are able to pay, but many of its students attend free of charge. The school’s motto: The Sky’s the Limit.
