WEBSITE UPDATE! We have expanded our website to include a Videos segment. Click on the link along the right side to see videos from the school and our volunteers in action!
Daraja Academy will be the first free secondary school in all of East Africa. In January 2009, 25 girls from Kenya will be given a chance for a secondary education which would otherwise not be possible, given their current economic situation.
The mission of the Daraja Academy is to cultivate a community of individuals with a sense of cultural awareness, social conscience, and environmental responsibility, all while instilling talents that will enable them to open doors to a global society.
To make this dream a reality, we need your help and support. No donation is too big or too small. You can take a look at our menu of funding options where you can help pay for tuition, teacher's salaries, putting books in our students' backpacks and much more.
