Because Her Education Matters!

Our alumni 100% support their #families by remitting 53% of their earnings.
When #girls have access to #quality education, they break the cycles of intergenerational #poverty.

Helping in the kitchen, administration office and #tutoring her sisters over her lunch break is her way of #paying forward.

Access to #quality reading materials promotes learning, critical thinking and inspires imaginations to say the least.

To supplement the available books, Daraja's library is in need of African literature.

Engaging in #community service is an incredibly #rewarding activity.
By our students volunteering their time, they gain valuable lifelong #skills like teamwork, #empathy then the joy of sharing a meal together.

We are happy to provide @darajaacademy with at least 60,000 pavement blocks made from 💯 recycled plastic for their new school grounds!

This is plastic that would otherwise end up carelessly discarded or in the rivers and oceans...

Daraja means Bridge!

PA-MOJA believes that students in Kenya and North America can #learn a great deal from each other through an online cross-curricular website. Sister school students guide their own learning and that of their #peers

Power of collective #responsibility.

End of term 2 it was realized that 90% of our students #improved. One of the causes is having an adult mentor who with love holds the students #accountable for their role.
