Celebrating the unique and powerful Daraja Academy in Kenya: the first free all-girls secondary school in all of East Africa. www.daraja-academy.org
Daraja Academy is a revolutionary idea – a secondary school where remarkable Kenyan girls, otherwise forgotten due to the lack of school fees, are given the one thing they desire most – a chance to succeed, because Daraja and its supporters believe educated girls can transcend poverty and change the world.
