Our History

After starting Caring Hearts High School, a boarding school for girls in 2015, we soon realized that donors’ investment was used to produce better results than when the students were sponsored in different schools. In those other schools, students were routinely suspended for dubious reasons, thus missing lessons. They also didn’t have youth development programs and were not given medical treatment in a timely manner.

Within a few years, the girls’ school became an academic powerhouse, leading in Kenya Certificate of Secondary Exams, as well as a dominant force in extra-curricular activities. The students had, and continue to have, adequate educational resources, supervised academic preparation, medical attention, moral-and values-based learning, academic and cultural trips, consistent counseling and guidance, nutritious and regular meals, and tutoring by subject matter experts among others.

We were, and still are, able to interact and support our girls in times like during the current pandemic but didn’t do anything for boys that we continued to sponsor in other schools. Our teachers did not know what the boys have covered in their respective schools or their needs. The boys have continued to underperform their potential and many are likely to miss the opportunity for post high school education and/or training.

But the fortunes of vulnerable boys have now been changed, for the better. In October 2020, amid COVID-19, a dilapidated boarding school facility became available for sale. Our gracious donors took advantage of the opportunity and purchased we demolished the existing condemned structures and constructed new dormitory, classrooms, administration offices, two science labs and computer lab. On August 2, 2021, we admitted the first class of 51 freshman boys at Caring Hearts High School-Kangundo.
