Let’s Build Their Tomorrow—Today.

It’s about the kids, the future.

Starehe Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to supporting secondary education for deserving students at Starehe Boys’ Centre & School and Starehe Girls’ Centre & School in Nairobi, Kenya. Through scholarships, mentorship, and strategic partnerships, we help bright young people stay in school, thrive, and graduate with dignity and hope.

Who We Are

In keeping with The Charge, a group of distinguished Starehe alumni in the United States founded the Starehe Foundation. The Foundation exists to ensure that no deserving student is denied a Starehe education due to financial need.

As a U.S. tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, we connect donors, alumni, and partners with students who simply need a chance. Together, we provide funding for tuition, uniforms, and essential needs—allowing students to focus on learning, leading, and serving.

“Starehe gave me more than an education—it gave me a family, discipline, and a sense of purpose. Without financial support, I would never have stepped through those gates. The Starehe Foundation made my dream possible.”
