Why Build A School In Kenya?
Our Projects
Tsavo East Community Development Initiative (TECDI)
We work in partnership with Simon Musila and TECDI, a community organisation near Tsavo East National Park in Kenya's Kasaala region. Together, we identify promising students from disadvantaged families who are at risk of dropping out due to financial hardship.
Your donations fund education sponsorships at three levels: vocational training, secondary school, and university. Each sponsor receives photos of their student and an annual report detailing their progress.

Kilimani Primary School
BASIK began life in 2006 when we started raising money to fund the rebuilding of Kilimani Primary School.
The school was a mud hut in a rural location outside Mombasa, with two teachers supporting 70 students. It had no basic facilities and materials. We worked with Head Teacher Julius Nzai to rebuild the school and support children who couldn't afford to pay their fees to get an education.
Kilimani now has brick built classrooms for all year groups, a staff room, toilets, clean running water and more teachers to provide a better quality education. The school now supports over 150 students from the local community! This was our first project as a charity and we're very proud of what we helped to achieve at Kilimani and the opportunities the students will gain from an education.
Help us achieve even more
We use JustGiving as our preferred donation method, it's quick, secure and it means that we can easily claim the Gift Aid on any money that is given to the charity.
Make a One Off Donation
We split our funds between building new facilities, supplying equipment for students and covering any fees required for a child to go to school. Any single donation is vital to ensuring we can continue to provide for our schools and children so please don't hesitate to make a donation of any amount.
