THE BACKGOUND OF THE STARLET ACADEMY MTONGWE

Sir Macharious Oyugi - Director

THE STARLET ACADEMY – MTONGWE is a private school which was established in 2017. We are a primary school situated in Mweza grand, a village within the suburb of Likoni, Mombasa on the Kenyan coast. We saw it wise to start the journey in providing a school within Mtongwe which would offer quality education to the less privileged.  

It was good for us to establish the school to accommodate most of the pupils who could not afford even to be enrolled in government schools. Most of them had opted to drop out hence could find themselves in hard drugs such as bhang, while girls were preys and victims to early pregnancies. We decided to support kids whose families would otherwise not be able to afford to send them to school.

We give them the best education we can, since quality education is something which every child should get regardless of their family background and community to which they belong. We strive to get them educated in order to experience good livelihood.

KEY FACTS

  1. THE STARLET ACADEMY MTONGWE FOUNDATION was founded in 2017 by THE STARLET ACADEMY SHG & Macharious Oyugi, who is the school Director.
  2. We currently have a population of 130 who have come from the suburbs of Likoni, out of which 90% are from a very humble background.
  3. Many of the pupils in our school are less privileged families, and are orphans.
  4. 25% of our pupils also are HIV positive. This has been contributed by the fact that the rate of poverty within this region is really high.
