Children at Bawa Education Centre
"Every day at Bawa, we watch children arrive eager to learn, ready to grow, and full of dreams."
— Joseph Kariuki, Founder
Why Bawa Exists

Children full of promise. A community that refuses to quit.

In Dandora, many families earn KSH 100–250 a day from informal work — including waste picking at the dumpsite. Without Bawa, children would spend those hours there too.

Bawa is a church-based school offering affordable, quality, Christ-centered education. It gives children a safe daily structure, nutritious meals, and the tools to imagine a different future.
