On February 1st, 2025, a group of 49 students from Form 4 embarked on a meaningful journey to the Kabete Boys Rehabilitation Center. This facility plays a crucial role in transforming the lives of juveniles who have found themselves on the wrong side of the law, providing them with a second chance through rehabilitation and vocational training.

Upon arrival, the students were warmly welcomed by the center, which currently houses 23 boys. The visit was a beautiful blend of service and mentor-ship. The Form 4 boys rolled up their sleeves to assist with various tasks, including splitting kuni (firewood), slashing the grounds and cleaning the rooms. They also took part in afternoon sports, engaging the young residents in lively football matches that fostered camaraderie and joy.

The students, guided by our staff members: Mr. Maluku, Mr. Kiliru, Mr. Muhia, Mr. Salim and Mr. Mureithi were eager to lend their support and uplift the spirits of the boys at the center. They brought along thoughtful donations, including unga, tissues, soap, detergents, cereals and clothes—essentials that would greatly benefit the rehabilitation efforts.

The day was filled with learning, leaving a lasting impact on both the visitors and the residents of Center. As they departed at 4:10 PM, the students carried with them not only the joy of giving but also the hope of positive change and the spirit of community and compassion. This visit was a reminder of the difference that kindness can make in the lives of young individuals seeking a brighter future.

On September 14th, 2024, we launched the inaugural Mawio Parenting Seminar, a gathering where minds converged around the crucial theme of “Educating in Character”. This enriching seminar is designed to give parents ideas they need to nurture well-rounded individuals and is divided into three engaging sessions, inviting parents to share their insights and experiences. We are excited to announce that the next two sessions will follow on September 28th and October 5th, 2024!

During our first session, parents received individual report forms detailing their sons’ academic performances in the program thus far, sparking enlightening discussions. The feedback poured in and it was heartwarming to hear parents express their observations of positive transformations in their children. They noted remarkable improvements in areas such as Academic Performance, Confidence, English Speaking, Order, Hygiene and Self-Esteem. This witnessing in growth fills us with hope and inspiration.

This gathering marks the beginning of a collaborative program, a beautiful partnership between the school and the families, working hand in hand to raise resilient, capable and confident young men. As we look forward to the upcoming sessions, we collectively embrace the opportunity to learn and grow together!

Launched on 8th June 2024; Mawio is dedicated to empowering students from greatly challenging backgrounds from our sub-county, Westlands by providing them with the necessary tools and guidance to enhance their educational journey. This incredible weekend program is designed specifically to improve the academic performance of junior school students and create a supportive community for their families.

Every Saturday, we welcome the boys to Strathmore School, from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. During their time with us, we focus on teaching them vital subjects such as Mathematics, Science, English, Kiswahili and Social Studies, equipping them with comprehensive foundations.

In collaboration with five public junior schools in Kibera, Kawangware, and Kangemi, Mawio actively supports 40 grade 6 students. These schools face resource constraints, making our partnership crucial in ensuring these students have the resources they need to thrive. Additionally, our program goes beyond academics, nurturing character development and life skills through engaging activities, sports and enriching excursions.

Our commitment to these boys extends beyond their current academic year. Mawio is dedicated to supporting them until they transition to grade 10, nurturing them throughout their crucial years of education.

We are hopeful that this impactful journey will empower these young boys!

On November 26th 2023 to December 1st 2023 our then Form 3 class had a Charity Project in Budalang’i Sub County. They were off to assist in construction of parts of the Bunyala Model School.

During the last term of the school; the Form 3 class raised some money for the construction works in areas of Bunyala Model School. 16 boys from the class were picked during the school holiday to represent the entire class. The students were accompanied by their teachers.

Indeed it was time well spent by the students!

On Saturday 11th March 2023 the Form 3 class went to St. Charles Lwanga school in Ruai where they spent a whole day interacting with students. They are also helping in putting up a roof and finishing a dormitory for the school.

The School rallied by the Form 3 Captains embarked on a target to raise funds to support the Lisha Kenya Fundraiser which was aimed at fundraising for the Needy Kenyans. The 1 Million Shilling target mark was reached and most classes managed to hit their targets and were treated to class parties, Dress Down Friday and Excursions.

Grade 3s had a chance to visit St. Charles Lwanga School. Strathmore School had been in a reach-out partnership with St. Charles Lwanga School with an aim to help as much as possible. This time round the Grade 3s made a courtesy visit to the primary section of the school with donations of different kinds.

The Form 3 Captains in collaboration with the school management have come up with an initiative dubbed FEED THE NEEDY. This initiative aims at raising awareness about drought situation and also raising funds aimed at ameliorating the food crisis. We would like to channel our efforts especially towards school-going children in the north of Kenya so that as many of them as possible are able to get at least one meal a day. This we hope, will in turn, keep many of these children in school. Our aim is to raise KES 1,000,000/- (One Million Shillings).

we would like to appeal to each member of the school community to consider donating meals to these hungry children. Each meal is valued at KES 300/-. You can donate as many meals as you can afford.

You can make a donation by M-Pesa as detailed below:

PAY BILL NUMBER: 561550

ACCOUNT NUMBER: ACCOUNT NUMBER: LISHA e.g.10040LISHA

Please note that this campaign will run until Wednesday, 19^th October 2022.
