🏢 About the local organisation
TheBright StarJunior School reaches out to children in the poorest areas of Diani, whose parents are not able to pay for regular school fees or who are not letting their children go to school, because of their own (social) problems. Bright Star has been in the forefront of trying to get more children to go to school by convincing their parents, who at times are ignorant on the importance of education, by charging a very low monthly school fee or sometimes no contribution at all. Some of the children join school very late and struggle to catch up with the curriculum. By maintaining high quality education, given by qualified and experienced teachers, the school has been able to achieve very good results, especially when taking the background of the children into account.
