Transforming Lives Through Quality Education

Building upon 340 years of Lasallian educational excellence, we are establishing Kenya's premier college for Education, Science & Technology — creating 1,300+ new seats for qualified students and ensuring 25% attend on scholarship.

A Crisis of Opportunity

Thousands of qualified students, too few seats, limited resources

The Challenge Kenya Faces

In 2024, nearly 1 million Kenyan students sat for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). Yet only 20 percent were placed into degree programs.

More than three-quarters of qualified students are redirected to diploma, certificate or artisan programs — but many cannot afford tuition or question the quality and relevance of available programs.

This is not just Kenya's challenge — it's Africa's challenge. Across the continent, millions of young people are eager to learn, willing to work, and striving for advancement, yet denied opportunity.

Education Changes Everything

Stories of transformation through Lasallian education

Nkor Dida

Nkor Dida's Journey

Born in a drought-stricken region known for poverty and violence, Nkor Dida couldn't afford college. Everything changed when he received a scholarship to attend a Brothers Sponsored Teacher Training Program.

Since then, he has become a humanitarian leader, developed a sanitation innovation ranked among the top 60 innovations in the world, and was named Kenya Red Cross Volunteer of the Year.

The Brothers gave me breath to live again. My heart has been touched, my mind taught and my life transformed. I am changing the story of my family and society at large.
