In 2009, the Kakenya Center for Excellence (KCE) officially opened its doors to become Enoosaen’s first primary school for girls, where students are challenged to become what they dream to be in life. The school serves the area’s most vulnerable and underprivileged girls and focuses on academic excellence, health education, female empowerment, leadership and community development. Each year a new class of 30-35 girls is enrolled into grade four. With our January 2012 incoming class, the school now houses 123 girls in grades 4-7 in a safe, nurturing environment. This year, KCE plans to begin a day program for the lower grades (classes 1-3). Full enrollment will be achieved in 2013 when the school reaches its capacity of 240 thriving students in grades 1-8.
At KCE, we believe we need to do more than just get girls into school. Our vision is to provide them with an education that prepares them to be leaders in our community, nation and world.
