Education Program

At the heart of our mission is the belief that every child deserves access to quality education, no matter their background. Since 1994, we have been running community-based schools in Nairobi’s informal settlements, creating opportunities for children to learn, thrive, and dream beyond the barriers of poverty.

Our Schools

We currently operate three community primary schools:

  • MCO primary school: Established in the year 1994 : School is in Mathare 4B
  • MCO Joy Primary school: Established in the year 1998: School is in Mathare 10
  • KCO Primary School: Established in 1999, located in Kariobangi.

Together, these schools serve over 1,000 students each year.

 

Why Our Schools Stand Out

Even in communities with schools that charge lower fees and boast better facilities, families choose MCO schools. Why? Because we have earned a reputation for academic excellence and community trust. Our two Mathare schools are consistently among the best performing in the area, proving that commitment, care, and connection to the community make all the difference.

 

Beyond the Classroom

We believe true education is holistic. That’s why our program nurtures the academic, spiritual, economic, social, and emotional well-being of every child. We:

  • Provide sponsorships that extend beyond our schools to children in government and private schools.
  • Address child rights, health awareness, and psychosocial needs.
  • Support children and families affected by HIV/AIDS.

Through these interventions, our Education Program currently reaches over 140 households— strengthening not only individual children but entire families.

 

Transforming Communities, Together

For parents, these schools are a lifeline of hope. For children, they are a doorway to a brighter future. And for our supporters and partners, they are proof that grassroots education changes lives.

Every classroom, every textbook, every smile tells a story of empowerment. By standing with us, you are helping break the cycle of poverty and investing in a new generation of leaders.
