Founded in 1999, Kimori Academy is a low-cost private academy in Kenya, Africa that provides quality education and living quarters to 525 children between the ages of 4 and 15, including orphaned children.

You have the opportunity to change a child’s life! We would like all children regardless of their family’s financial situation to be able to attend, but we are seeking your help. The school is already using its funds to support some children, but there are more who need assistance. This could not be more true than for those who either have no living parents and those who are partial-orphans, having lost their fathers. Since men provide the majority of the family’s income in this culture, the loss of a family’s head male figure may spell extreme poverty for the remaining family members.  Poverty leading to dropping out of school and lack of food.


This is where you come in. With the donation, you can sponsor a child, ensuring that he or she is able to stay in school, recieves a good education, is well-fed, has a school uniform and recieves counseling and mentoring services. Your donation to keep a child in school reduces his or her risk of becoming a victim of domestic violence, of HIV/AIDS, and of child labour. Additionally to provide the child with hope for a brighter future and the possibility of breaking the cycle of poverty in a family.

  • I had the opportunity to meet the staff and the children at Kimori and found this school to be one of the most worthwhile organizations. In a very rural area where students tend to drop out of school after 8th grade, Kimori Academy strives to inspire these students to want a better future for themselves as students and as people.
