2017: Year in Review

2017 has been a huge year for Daraja, and we owe it all to our supporters. Here are just a few things we’ve accomplished together this year:

• We launched The Daraja Times, Kenya’s first digital, high-school newspaper. Read what the Daraja girls have to say about free elections, the importance of technology in education, and healthcare shortages.
• We opened a new science lab on campus, which was sponsored by Royal Dutch Shell.
• On Valentine’s Day, we raised enough money to buy every single student a new desk.
• Dentists from New York University visited to provide dental healthcare to the Daraja girls.
• We hosted an alumni mentorship day on campus to provide career and life guidance to current students and recent graduates alike.

On top of that, we graduated the Class of 2017 and welcomed the Class of 2020 to campus. It’s been an incredible year for Daraja, and we have even bigger plans for the coming year. There are less than 24 hours left in 2017: will you donate to Daraja Academy today?

Asante sana, and Happy New Years!
