Welcome to the brand new blessed Hope Primary School
January 2019
What a special day for the Blessed Hope Project as we delivered on Michael’s promise. The children and staff were so excited to see their new school for the first time. It has been a huge effort by Walter, Jack and our construction team and we are so thankful to everyone who has contributed, no matter how big or small. We plan to now use our school as a platform to make a real difference in the Kibera community and we can’t wait to see what our children achieve in the future!
