Tiwi Academy began in 2002 as a faith-based response to a very real challenge.
For many families in Kwale County, poverty can place quality education beyond reach. Without a strong educational foundation, children can enter adulthood with fewer opportunities to change their circumstances or support their families.
Operation Give Hope believed another story was possible.
With the support of Pastor Jim Horne, mission partners and child sponsors, Tiwi Academy began providing children with access to education, school infrastructure, feeding support and a caring Christian environment.
What started as an effort to help children go to school has grown into a mixed day school providing primary and Junior Secondary education to hundreds of learners.
Today, generations of students have passed through Tiwi’s classrooms. Some have continued to secondary school, university and employment, carrying the impact of that opportunity back into their families and communities.
One sponsored education can influence far more than one child.
To bring the light of Christ to this predominantly Islamic region by providing a loving, faith-based education, nurturing moral integrity, and offering quality primary and Junior Secondary learning that empowers every child and transforms the Kwale community.
A school. Hundreds of children. Generations of possibility.
