Future Leaders and Rise Kenyan Youth
Since 2016 we have been providing scholarships to talented and needy students in our community. These students are selected by our leader Bonaventure and his colleagues in the local schools. Our first scholarship student, Daniel Wafula graduated from high school and is completing a video production program at Gretsa University. He has already produced many videos and photographs many of which appear on this website. He is so full of talent and goodness. Already he has shown leadership for the rest of the students following him. (see below). More students are coming up who need scholarships. 
The spaces that we rented for our students did not meet the needs of a growing group of students. They requested quiet study rooms, a lab for computers, and a space for younger children to sit together on chairs that fit them. We are working with Andrew Sidford Architects to design an multi-room flexible space with air and sunlight, made with local green materials. The students have begun planting trees and a garden on the land.
