“Educate a Boy. Empower a Nation.”

Your support gives bright but needy boys access to education, mentorship, and opportunity.

Why Donate

Despite its success, Starehe relies on the generosity of donors to sustain and expand its programs. Education, food, shelter, and healthcare for the students are only possible through sponsorships and donations. With your help, we can change even more lives and empower the next generation of leaders.

Why Your Support Matters

Annually, 1.4 million boys and girls in Kenya complete free basic education. But for 347 of the brightest and most vulnerable, Starehe becomes more than just a school, it becomes a home, a future, and a beacon of hope.

For 66 years, Starehe has shaped world-class leaders by providing food, shelter, top-tier education, medical care, clothing, discipline, and character development. Every day, it costs just $83 to sustain this mission.

You can be part of this incredible journey:

✔ $5 – Support a teacher for a day (Give $5)

✔ $3 – Provide meals for one boy and one girl (Give $3)

✔ $30/month – Ensure shelter and clothing (Give $30/month)

✔ $15/month – Fund counseling, mentoring, and character-building programs (Give $15/month)

✔ $2/day – Guarantee full medical and dental care (Give $2/day)

✔ $50/month for 12 months – Sustain a student’s complete care—food, shelter, learning, and character development (Give $50/month)

Your generosity creates futures. Your kindness changes lives.
