School of the Future
"Shule ya Kesho" means "School of the Future" in Swahili.
Project Overview
The goal of this project is to improve educational opportunities for disadvantaged children in Ruiru, a suburb of Nairobi, Kenya. By expanding a school that was founded 20 years ago through the personal dedication of a mother, we aim to provide these children with access to education and offer them a better future. Join us in supporting local efforts and empowering through self-help!

Funding goals
-
Stage 1:
3.000 EUR
25% funded
St. Augustine Preparatory will build temporary classrooms to meet the requirements of the Kenyan education authorities while we continue to raise funds. These provisional spaces will allow to maintain school operations and move forward with the much-needed expansion. Once we have raised enough funds, they will work towards achieving the next two goals: purchasing the land and building an additional floor to provide more space and better learning conditions for the children.
-
Stage 2:
8.000 EUR
0% funded
They intend to use the funds raised as equity for the next crucial step in the school’s development. Their goal is to replace the temporary classrooms with a third floor added to the existing school building. To achieve this, we will apply for federal funding. However, we are required to contribute one-third of the total funding ourselves, which is why we rely on your support. Your donation will help to realize this much-needed expansion and sustainably improve the learning conditions for the children. Together, we can ensure that this school continues to provide a strong foundation for the future of the children in Ruiru.

Stage 3:
9.000 EUR
0% funded
Now that the school is large enough to meet the classroom requirements of the Kenyan education authorities, the next important step is purchasing the neighboring land, which is currently leased. They have a long-term lease agreement with an option to buy, and they are eager to exercise that option. Nairobi is growing rapidly, and land in the suburbs is becoming increasingly valuable and sought-after. By purchasing the land, they can ensure that the school will not be displaced from its location and will remain a stable institution for the children of Ruiru in the long term. The land on which the school building stands is already owned by St. Augustine Preparatory, and acquiring the adjacent property will allow them to further expand the school and secure its future. Your support during this fundraising phase will help to make this critical step a reality and ensure the school’s long-term stability.

We are almost there! In this final phase, we aim to support the school in providing the best possible education for the children. A key step in achieving this is strengthening the support for teachers. To further enhance the quality of education, we want to help the school integrate interns, including those from Germany. To do so, we will apply for the Weltwärts program, a German government initiative. This project could not only bring new inspiration to the local teachers but also mark the beginning of exchange programs in both directions. With your support in this final fundraising phase of €25,000, we can ensure that the school continues to develop not only its facilities but also its educational offerings, providing the children of Ruiru with a high-quality education. Help us take this decisive step toward a promising future!
St. Augustine Preparatory School is located in Ruiru, near the capital of Kenya. The East African country is a democratic state, but for many families, education is too expensive. For the past 20 years, St. Augustine Preparatory has been providing girls and boys from low-income families with an opportunity for education and a better future. Through our organization, "Shule ya Kesho" (Swahili for "School of the Future"), we are committed to supporting the long-term sustainability of this school.
Goal 1: Short-term construction of temporary classrooms: scheduled for early January 2025, with plans to build an additional floor during the year to ensure enough space for all students.

Ziel 2:Die Schule braucht auch einen Schulhof, das Nachbargrundstück ist zur Zeit gepachtet, es könnte gekauft werden. Ihre Spenden machen das möglich!
Ziel 3: Langfristigen Erfolg sichern: Mit Ihrer Spende investieren Sie direkt in die Zukunft von Kindern, die ohne diese Schule kaum eine Chance hätten. Helfen Sie uns, Bildung zugänglich zu machen und den Kindern von Ruiru eine Perspektive zu bieten!

We, at Shule ya Kesho e.V., support the St. Augustine Preparatory School in Ruiru, Nairobi, from Germany.
Since its founding in 2007, St. Augustine Preparatory has provided children and young people with affordable education and school meals. Over the years, it has become a place where children from low-income families come together to laugh, learn, and grow. To ensure this wonderful development continues, help us expand St. Augustine Preparatory into a School of the Future! Shule ya Kesho is Swahili for School of the Future.
We at Shule ya Kesho e.V. are a group of individuals based in Germany and Switzerland who have lived in Nairobi, Kenya. Through the German School Nairobi or as World Weltwärts volunteers, we came to know St. Augustine Preparatory and eventually formed the supporter association Shule ya Kesho e.V..
Together with the school principal, Judy Nyambura, and project coordinator James Njuguna, we are working to ensure that the school can continue to offer children in Ruiru both an education and a warm meal every day, as Shule ya Kesho – the School of the Future.
