Dr. Ndumi Faulu Academy is an elementary school in the Kenyan Coast. We are on a mission to ensure that every student has a solid chance at quality education.
FAULU ACADEMY
The school was established in 2012 by Dr. Esther Ngumbi with her parents Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Ngumbi, both retired teachers who strongly felt that education was the gateway to ending poverty and was the best gift the family could share with the community. At the beginning Dr. Ndumi Faulu Academy opened its doors to 14 students. They studied in a mud class but we were happy to know that we had started giving back to the community we love. Over the years with help from family and friends we have upgraded the mud classrooms with semi-permanent classrooms. A gradual increase in student enrollments has continued steadily and today the school has over 110 students and runs through grades 1 to 8.
WHY EDUCATION?
