Educate and Empower Street Children in Kenya

The CYEC established our pre-school in January 2012. Its main aim is to give the children quality education and enable them to have a firm schooling foundation and create an all round pupil at the end of their pre-school life.  Our school has an excellent reputation for high performance. It’s a community based school where we impact the lives of not only the children at the Centre but also the community around us so that we can eradicate illiteracy from our community completely

It started its operations with with eight children, three from the Centre and five from the community around it. By the end of its first year there were 20 children with one teacher, Mrs. Magdaline, who taught all of them under one roof. The classes are categorized into class 1 for children aged 3 years, class 2 for children aged 4 year and class 3 for children aged 5 years who will later proceed to join various primary schools.

After the children have successfully gone through the process they graduate so that they can join Primary school. The first graduation of 15 students was in 2014. This year we are proud to have hosted another graduation on 12 November  where we had 12 graduates. The aim of this graduation was to celebrate the three years we have had with the children and to bring on board all the people involved in educating these children. It also helps the children know that working hard at school has its reward.

We currently have 38 children and hope that by next year the number will increase due to our high standards and our potential growth. Due to this we will be able to divide the three classes so that each class should have its teacher. We are also hopeful that we shall have a variety of extra curriculum activities and also recreational activities to aid in making the students’ life more enjoyable and children friendly.

Your support helps make this possible! Please consider making a recurring gift this year to help support the education of these children!
