This level bestows mastery of basic skills upon the learners. This first entry takes a period of 2 years, the first class is PP1 short for Pre-Primary 1 followed by PP2 (Pre-Primary 2).

Lower Primary School

Grades 1 to 3

This is a 3 year period that marks the first transition into the mainstream primary education system in Kenya and starts at ages 6 or 7. The grading system is called “standard”, meaning the first 3years the student transitions from standard 1 to 3.

Upper Primary School

Grades 4 to 8

This is a 5yr period that helps prepare students for high school. In grade 8 students select 4 to 6 high schools that they would like to attend including 1 national school & take the KCPE, which validates their transition to high school.

About Us

As a young kid, I didn’t have a dream. I know you may wonder how that is even possible. So here is my story... I never had any idea what the world out there looked like since I was born in a remote Village in Siaya County, in Kenya. I couldn’t speak English and my Mom and Dad passed away when I was very young — and my Grandma followed a year later. But by God’s grace, this was not the end of my story. It was the beginning of a new colourful chapter in my beautiful book. Maisha Project came to my rescue when I was in the 5th grade. And here I am... 12 years later... graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Hotel and Hospitality Management —. second in my class, upper division — from The University of Eldoret, Kenya. I also am a Christian Rapper with 4 years of growth in the Kenyan music industry. I want to give a big thanks to all who contributed to my studies; namely, Brittany Dunn, Pamela Heitz, Joy Smith Davis and many anonymous donors who made my dreams come true! May God bless Maisha Project to keep giving hope to the hopeless! As we grow stronger it is my goal to give back as a Maisha Alumni to help children with similar struggles as I had.
