International Village School - not just another high school

The International Village School opened in February 2008 in Emuhaya district, Western Kenya.

• it is a unique school which targets very poor but high performing students who would otherwise be unable to attend secondary school.

• more than 50% of our students attend completely free; the rest pay reduced fees.

• it follows the Kenyan curriculum but has international standards. • academic results at the end of 2009: Form One 69%, Form Two 67% (government schools in the area have averages below 50%) • every student has his/her own textbook in every subject. • the school focuses its resources on providing the necessary learning

environment and tools for the best possible performance of every student. • extra curricular activities including films, books and sports give a unique

learning opportunity for rural teenagers.


Seeing the students at school is one part of the story.

Let’s look at the other part…


My name is Cedric Jumba. I attend the International Village School. Here I am at 6am preparing for school.


I live with my grandmother, this is our house. My mother died when I was 5 and my dad died two years later.

Even having enough to eat was a problem in primary school and a well-wisher paid my primary certificate exam fee.


Here I am walking to school, the round trip is about 10km.


A hot cup of porridge at school at 10am is the first meal of the day.


I would not be able to attend high school at all without sponsorship. If I work hard enough, one day I hope to be a doctor


Sponsor a student for just 50 CHF/ US$ per month and give an impoverished teenager a future. Please contact [email protected] for more details
