  • Gatoto is a community-led primary school in a shantytown of Nairobi, where the average income is less than $1/day. Gatoto provides high-quality holistic education to 900 students for a total cost of less than $70/year per child. While some of this cost is covered by the $8/year school fees, the majority is provided by outside donors, including the local community. Despite the challenges of living in the slums, the children consistently perform well in academic and co-curricular activities. To learn more about the history of the school, as well as background information about education, poverty, and AIDS in Kenya, click here.
