In Dandora, many families earn KSH 100–250 a day from informal work — including waste picking at the dumpsite. Without Bawa, children would spend those hours there too.
Bawa is a school offering affordable, quality education. It gives children a safe daily structure, nutritious meals, and the tools to imagine a different future.
Consistent care, education, and encouragement can make a child's future look very different from their present. Sponsorship is the most practical, powerful way to walk alongside a student at Bawa.

Joseph founded Bawa in Dandora with a single conviction — that every child in this community is full of promise and created with purpose. He leads with faith, builds with love, and refuses to accept that poverty is destiny.
