International Village School - not just another high school
The International Village School opened in February 2008 in Emuhaya district, Western Kenya.
• it is a unique school which targets very poor but high performing students who would otherwise be unable to attend secondary school.
• more than 50% of our students attend completely free; the rest pay reduced fees.
• it follows the Kenyan curriculum but has international standards. • academic results at the end of 2009: Form One 69%, Form Two 67% (government schools in the area have averages below 50%) • every student has his/her own textbook in every subject. • the school focuses its resources on providing the necessary learning
environment and tools for the best possible performance of every student. • extra curricular activities including films, books and sports give a unique
learning opportunity for rural teenagers.

I live with my grandmother, this is our house. My mother died when I was 5 and my dad died two years later.
Even having enough to eat was a problem in primary school and a well-wisher paid my primary certificate exam fee.
