A message from the founder.

Education
Education is the most precious gift a nation can give to its children ,and a church can give to its members ,whether you live in up market estate ,middle class estate rural areas or even city slums, you need education in order to live and socialize with other people harmoniously.
In 1983 after I graduated from Bible College the Lord spoke to me about Kibera that I had not known before .When I inquired about Kibera, I was told that it is a slum that is full of thugs, muggers and prostitutes. My school and college mates discouraged me that if I went there I would die a poor man for the rest of my life. I could not listen to them because I new that the one who had spoken to me the (Lord) was faithful and a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.(Heb 11:6)

Christian values
Soweto academy is founded on Christian principles .The director pastor Chrispinus Okumu is a graduate of East Africa School of Theology .The school supports over 200 Aids orphans and some bright children from poor backgrounds.

Secondary school for girls
Recently we introduced a secondary school Wing for girls only. Why a girls school? Our research shows that girls are vulnerable here in the slums, if a girl can't continue with her studies she gets
married or engages in things like prostitution .We want to end this .Girls have a right to school and so we felt obliged to cater for them in a special way.

The milestones
Soweto Academy being a school that came up from the land that was reclaimed from the swamp and the dump site, it has always been difficult to level the land in order to build permanent buildings.
However parents and the community around us have been of great support, for they have always volunteered to work in exchange for their children's education.
The local government also has been supportive for they relocated the dumping site to another place called (Dandora.).Now the main obstacle that we are facing is the playing ground which needs about two million shillings for refilling the ground we also need another two million to build a laboratory to be used by our girls secondary section and to equip it.
We need two million shillings for building a dormitory for girls and a dinning hall for all the children a total of eight million is need for the completion of the school.
