Daraja Academy will be the first free secondary school in all of East Africa. In January 2009, 25 girls from Kenya will be given a chance for a secondary education which would otherwise not be possible, given their current economic situation.
The mission of the Daraja Academy is to cultivate a community of individuals with a sense of cultural awareness, social conscience, and environmental responsibility, all while instilling talents that will enable them to open doors to a global society.
To make this dream a reality, we need your help and support. No donation is too big or too small. You can take a look at our menu of funding options where you can help pay for tuition, teacher's salaries, putting books in our students' backpacks and much more.
Click on the video below to learn more about Daraja Academy directly from the founders, Jason & Jenni Doherty. Also, as of July 2008, Jason will be moving to Kenya to begin the first steps in preparing the Daraja campus for our students. He will be regularly updating our blog, so please check back regularly to chart his progress, see pictures and videos, and hear his thoughts.
