Thousands of schools across Kenya have no fire extinguisher, no evacuation plan, and no trained staff. When something goes wrong, children pay the price. We are changing that — one school at a time.
Kenya has 47 counties. Thousands of schools. Many of them — especially in rural and low-income communities — operate without a single working fire extinguisher, a posted evacuation route, or a member of staff trained to respond to an emergency.
It is not negligence. It is poverty. Schools that can barely afford textbooks cannot afford safety equipment. And so every term, children sit in classrooms where the difference between life and death is whether someone happens to know what to do.
That is unacceptable. And it is fixable.

Child casualties we are working toward in every school fire
The Foundation funds a complete safety package for under-resourced schools — everything needed to protect children, at no cost to the school.
We supply and install fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and emergency signage — the physical tools schools need to prevent and respond to fires.
Every sponsored school receives a custom evacuation plan with mapped routes, designated assembly points, and printed signage installed throughout the building.
Our certified trainers visit each school to deliver hands-on fire safety and emergency response training — for teachers, support staff, and student safety marshals.
We believe donors deserve to know exactly how their contribution is used. Here is how every shilling is allocated.
This is where the stories live. The schools, the children, the before and after. We are just getting started.
Our first cohort of sponsored schools is currently being identified and vetted. Your donation today funds the very first deployments.
You don't need to be a corporation to change a child's life. A single donation can help equip a classroom. A partnership can sponsor an entire school. Every contribution counts.
Any amount goes directly toward safety equipment and training for schools that need it most.
Fund a complete safety package for one school — equipment, evacuation planning, and full staff training.
Organisations, corporates, and foundations — let's work together to scale the programme across Kenya.
Donation infrastructure is being set up. Register your interest and be first to give when we launch — or reach out directly to discuss partnerships and sponsorships.
