Joseph Kariuki — Founder, Bawa Education CentreHear Joseph's story and why he founded Bawa to serve Dandora's children.
Bawa Education Centre provides safe, affordable, Christ-centered education for children in Dandora — turning potential into possibility, one child at a time.
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 church-based school offering affordable, quality, Christ-centered 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.
