"You don't need me to come here to teach math. What you need is for me to go home to raise money for the girls' high school."

Those were the words spoken in September 2005 by Margo McAuliffe, a retired math teacher from California. Thus began the journey from a bare plot of ground in Naivasha, Kenya, to the opening of St Francis Xavier Girls Secondary School to the first class of students in February 2007. Read more about how the school was started.

Our Mission: To provide resources and support for the benefit of women, children and youth through education and training in the communities of Naivasha District of Kenya.

Father Daniel Kiriti dreamed of a school for the girls of his Naivasha parish, Kenya, whether Catholic or not. He wanted a school for the bright but poor girls whose only hope was a secondary education. Its mission would be to empower young women, to build their self-confidence and instill a sense of owning their destiny.
