Daraja Academy is the first free all-girls secondary school in all of East Africa. In late Feburary 2009, 26 girls from Kenya were 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. 

Click on the video below to get a sense of the education situation for girls in Kenya, and how Daraja aims to help. Also, check out our other videos to learn much more about the school. Also, check out founder Jason Doherty's blog as he chronicles his experiences in Kenya and provides updates about the school.

Daraja means bridge, and  you are Daraja.
