About Koinonia Education Centre

Koinonia Education Centre is a school dedicated to providing a comprehensive and holistic education for the children in Kenya, Maai Mahiu and its surroundings. Our journey began in the Kibagare slums, west of Nairobi in 2003. In this overcrowded area and similarly in many rural towns of Kenya, devoid of basic amenities, children face harsh realities like crime, abuse, and a lack of educational opportunities. Founded in 2003 as a kindergarten for underprivileged children in Kibagare, Koinonia Education Centre grew alongside its students, becoming what it is today. To accommodate the increasing demand for space and classrooms, we relocated to Maai Mahiu in 2020, continuing our mission to serve the community's children.
