Welcome to Maweni Village
Maweni Village is a small community of 400 on the southern coast of Kenya. One of the most economically deprived villages along the coast, Maweni has many families who cannot afford the fees required for attendance at nearby schools. With such limited
opportunities, the affects on children's education is substantial.To reverse this situation, a temporary nursery school was established in January 2000. However, with restricted resources, the teachers could not be paid, and a permanent building were not affordable.
After discussing the needs of the village with the villagers, we decided to build a center that would benefit the entire community. Through generosity of individuals, land was purchased in 2006 and permanent buildings are under construction.
Currently, we have a nursery and kindergarten classes, including a free lunch program, as well as adult education courses in the evenings.We are working to insure a lasting future for the children of Maweni Village by creating a safe, healthy and clean environment to support learning. Our goal is to encourage the love of learning.
