St. Francis Moto Hope Center & Academy.

St. Francis Moto Hope Center & Academy. “We reach out and empower" every child under our care. St. Francis Moto Hope Center and Academy was founded by Fr. Francis Kabiru on January 3rd, 2012. Fr.

It now provides both Primary and CBC Junior Secondary Education. Francis’ first-hand knowledge of the impact of education in Kenya and his deep-seated love for his native people spurred in him a burning desire to bring these two teams to work together to start the Center. Francis Moto Hope Center and Academy is located in a serene and conducive learning environment 150 miles northwest of Nairobi i

n the Molo (Moto) region of Kenya. This is where Rev. Francis, its founder was born and raised. Francis, a Catholic priest who ministers in Duluth-Minnesota, grew up in Moto Village, Kenya, where St. Francis Moto Hope Center and School Academy is located. As a Kenyan youth, Francis was exposed first-hand to the realities of a good education. His father was a teacher, and his mother was incredibly supportive. His whole family knew the immense value of a good education and community empowerment. Francis was guided by his desire to save the school-going pupils from walking so many kilometers away to access the public school (Moto Primary) he and his siblings and friends attended back in his Primary school-going days. He purposed to start a school closer home to provide quality holistic education to the children of Moto and its environs. To help students focus better on their studies and provide a warmer and more conducive environment, a modern dormitory was constructed for the boarding section. In its current state, our center of excellence prides itself in quality and standard facilities, administration, teaching, and non-teaching staff that enable it to meet all the emotional, physical, creative and and intellectual needs of all students .

What a joyful and exciting week it has been as we wrapped up Term 1! Our students were full of excitement as they prepared to head home after a vibrant week packed with co-curricular activities.

A major highlight was the Talanta Motohope Tournament held on 23rd and 24th, where our talented boys’ and girls’ basketball teams truly showcased their skills and determination. Football and volleyball were not left behind, adding to the strong spirit of teamwork and sportsmanship across the school.

During the closing ceremony, our pupils were recognized and awarded for their outstanding achievements in various categories, including academic excellence, best overall performance, exemplary behaviour, and exceptional talents. We are incredibly proud of each and every one of them!

As we break for the holidays, we wish all our beloved students a happy and blessed Easter, filled with joy, peace, and renewal. To the entire Motohope fraternity, may this season bring you happiness and God’s abundant blessings.

Happy Holidays!

Yesterday, our mentorship program held an engaging and age-appropriate session for learners in Grades 6–9 on S*x Education and Responsible Choices.

The session empowered students to make safe decisions, understand personal boundaries, navigate peer pressure, and build healthy relationships; all in a respectful and supportive space where they could openly ask questions and share their thoughts.

We remain committed to nurturing not just academic success, but well-rounded, informed, and responsible individuals.

As we wrap up the term during this Lenten season, we were blessed to celebrate a Holy Mass yesterday, presided over by Fr. Edward. The Mass was offered in thanksgiving as we prepare for the closing of the school, expressing our gratitude to God for guiding us through the first term of this academic year.

Additionally, 19 of our pupils received the Catechumenate (Hatua ya Pili), marking a significant milestone in their spiritual growth and journey of faith. We pray for God’s grace upon them as they continue to grow in their walk of faith, and we extend our warm wishes to the Moto Hope fraternity for a blessed and joyful Easter period.

On 6th March 2026, our school successfully conducted the Student Body Elections in a well-organized and educative exercise that highlighted the importance of leadership, responsibility, and democracy among our learners.

Prior to the election, a civic education session was held the previous day to help students understand the voting process and what to expect. This session gave learners a valuable insight into the significance of leadership and democratic participation.

The voting process was carried out through secret ballot boxes, carefully labelled and managed by dedicated election personnel under the supervision of a teacher and a student. A total of 15 leadership posts were contested, each with a deputy position.

Candidates actively campaigned for one month, sharing their visions and engaging fellow students throughout the campaign period.

We warmly congratulate Solomon Kipkoech and his deputy, Victoria Mwangi, for being elected as School President and Deputy President. Congratulations as well to all the other Cabinet Secretaries who were duly elected.

We wish all the elected leaders the very best as they take on their leadership roles. May God’s grace and guidance be with you as you serve the student body and the entire school community.

As we began the holy season of Lent, our school community joined hands with the St. Jude Church community on Wednesday, 18th February, to celebrate a solemn and grace-filled Ash Wednesday Holy Mass in our school.

The Mass was beautifully celebrated by Fr. Benjamin Njuguna, who reminded us of the importance of repentance, love for one another, and sincere self-reflection on our deeds as we usher in the Lenten season. His powerful message encouraged us all to embrace this sacred time with humble hearts, renewed faith, and a deep commitment to spiritual growth.

May this Lenten journey inspire transformation in our hearts and actions, guiding us to walk together in faith, compassion, and unity.
