KGSA was established as a U.S. based non-profit that works to develop strategies for the long-term sustainability of the school, and to identify individual donors and organizations interested in partnering to promote secondary educational opportunities for our students. KGSA works directly with the school's staff in Nairobi, Kenya to provide free, quality education and programming for their students, while raising awareness around the issues of gender inequalities.
