The story of how the Daraja Academy got started and funded and ready to admit students is a long one, and one that even I am not too clear on. I will let Jason’s work tell his own story of how he and his wife single handily started a school where girls from the slums of Nairobi will cultivate a community of individuals with a sense of cultural awareness, social conscience, and environmental responsibility, all while instilling talents that will enable them to open doors to a global society.
My job is to use my network & web presence to share Jason’s dream with as many people as I can. To learn more please click here...
Thanks for sharing Jason's vision, when will the girls start or have they already? I certainly admire anyone who would teach in such a remote environment.

If you want to hear Jason tell the story himself, you can listen to a podcast interview in which he speaks with 3 students from the Woodside Priory School about the school. The podcast is called the "Global Issues Initiative" and you can check it out here.
