Meet our Students

You can choose to adopt and sponsor one of our students for only $100 a month or $1200 a year. This will pay for their education, food, and boarding expenses at Juanita School.

Students will be provided with a high quality education. We expect our students, upon graduation, to qualify for a Kenya University Scholarship, a trade, or a job. Also, upon graduation, it is the goal of the school to have each student be self-supporting.

Juanita School for Girls currently has 98 students. To understand the students’ situation, you can see some of their pictures and read a brief background below.

When Juanita School for Girls says, “We rescue children, and change lives,” it is not just a slogan. It is a reality. Continue the miracle of Juanita School for Girls. Sponsor a student today!
