Mbegu, meaning "seed" in Swahili, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to nurturing children's aspirations and empowering them to create lasting change in their communities.We are a trigger for change, a beacon of hope and a force that transcends boundaries. Our mission is simple yet profound.Just like a seed holds untapped potential, Mbegu believes every child possesses unique greatness waiting to be cultivated. Through education, mentorship, and empowerment, we awaken curiosity, ignite passions, and provide the tools for success.In January 2024, we welcome the first batch of 30 students from Saint Mary Academy School into our higher-education program.To support their life journey and fulfil Mbegu's vision, we must also provide the necessary infrastructure to cater to their primary needs.We are building a high school with boarding facilities where they can access the national school curriculum free of charge. In Kenya, there is no free education, and tuition fees are prohibitively expensive in both public and private schools. By waiving these fees and offering high-quality education without cost, we ensure that these young boys and girls have the opportunity to learn and build a promising future for themselves.In addition to their compulsory education, we will foster their personal growth through initiatives that encourage emotional intelligence.Our goal is to create a secure environment that nurtures a family-like atmosphere and motivates them to become the individuals and professionals they aspire to be.At Mbegu, we believe in empowering children beyond the confines of a traditional curriculum. Our focus lies in nurturing their emotional intelligence and cultivating vital soft skills that will enable them to: 1. Build inner confidence and self-awareness;2.Unleash creativity and curiosity;3. Develop strong interpersonal abilities, communication and empathy;4. Sharpen critical thinking and problem-solving.
