Daraja empowers exceptional Kenya girls living in material poverty by providing a strong academic base and an environment to grow their innate leadership skills. We believe in her ability to lead her community, Country and the world to a more just and equitable future.
Daraja provides students with full scholarships and resources to be critical thinkers, progressive leaders, and architects of their futures. The academy provides shelter, food and healthcare and counselling services so students may focus on their academic and personal potential without the everyday barriers they would otherwise face.
