The NDOTO Academy

In the 2nd week of November 2023 pursue Schools Development Program conducted a three day development training to our Ndoto Academy Teachers together with some Ndoto Organization staff. Subjects covered on this year’s training included literacy skills, child protection, guidance and counselling etc. Our objective is to deliver quality and holistic education to each child so as students reach their full potential and become responsible future citizens.

Guilty: sometimes we get so busy doing cool things that we forget to sit down and tell the story. It's been a great time of ministry in the US and in Kenya, and while we're just wrapping up the busiest season in the US, we're just starting in on the busiest season in Kenya with school out for the summer.
Now that we have our own private Christian school, we get to have a celebration of our own as school gets out at the end of October. Kindergarten graduation! We celebrated in style, too, as we congratulated these youngsters on moving up to 1st grade in January. Yes we're biased, but we think our Kindergarteners are the cutest on the planet! And we're partial to our Ndoto Academy staff, dressed up in new dresses for the occasion.

Gloria was a young child who was among the first to be enrolled in 2022 at the school’s founding. Almost immediately she began behaving strangely for a pre-K student. Soon she became violent and consistently caused disruptions. When we called Gloria’s mother for a conference, we learned more.
Gloria’s mother had survived an abusive marriage, and the things the young child had seen had impacted her deeply. Gloria’s teacher, Lilian, insisted that Gloria could still correct her course if she had the right training and the right environment. She began attending Ndoto Community Church, and with the collaboration of Ndoto and her mother, Gloria began a total transformation.
Today, Gloria can read and write at grade level, and her mother testifies that she is a different child at home. On October 27th, Gloria will graduate from Kindergarten at Ndoto Academy and go on to first grade.

doto has sent students to schools all over our city and country, but we always dreamed of having our own private Christian school. So when special donations came together to make the new initiative possible, we launched Ndoto Academy.
We’re creating a different kind of school, with high educational standards, top-notch resources, and an environment of discipleship. And though we launched in faith, today we have an Open Door to build the school we envisioned.
Land almost never comes up for sale in Kisumu, but by God’s grace, two plots adjacent to our current compound became available, and we purchased them. Today we have a talented team of architects and engineers in the US and Kenya helping us plan a campus that will stretch to 9th grade in 2031. By then, there’s no doubt that Ndoto Academy will be known as one of the best schools in the region.
Heroes Day is our one fundraiser of the year, and our goal is to raise $55,000 to meet our annual budget. This is about allowing Ndoto to walk through the open doors to make a greater and greater difference in Kenya. So far we have received gifts and pledges totaling $33,790. You can join those supporters and help us reach our goal by October 20th!

Education should be fun; kids love it when school is all exciting, this creates in them the spirit to learn. because fun is the language kids understand best, it takes more than passion from all the teaching staff involved with the kids to keep up with the energy and creativity on a daily basis. Fun is part of a Child’s brain development and sometime shapes their personality as they grow up. This was a Friday out fun day for the 52 Ndoto academy kids. They toured Impala National Park in Kisumu to watch and learn about the wild animals, later on moved to Golden Elite school near the Kisumu International Airport for swimming session before sharing lunch together with the teachers and staff who accompanied them. Thanks to Ndoto Academy for giving the play group a rare experience.

"Vision gets the dreams started. Dreaming employs your God-given imagination to reinforce the vision. Both are part of something I believe is absolutely necessary to building the life of a champion, a winner, a person of high character who is consistently at the top of whatever game he or she is in." Emmitt Smith
