Look who’s moving on in 2019!

Last year was a big one for so many of our students and parents who took their education and self-empowerment to the next level!

With help from study materials distributed by Jitegemee, all of our 15 exam candidates passed their tests. And 9 out of 15 Jitegemee Class 8 students received … [Read more...]

Such Wonder – A Field Trip to Lake Nakuru

Students gathered at the Huduma Center bus station in Machakos Town hours before the bus even arrived. The sun had not even risen, but the students were not going to miss a chance to see more of their country. As soon as the bus left town, … [Read more...]
