Loldia Primary School

Originally this was just a small, mud and wattle farm school, built to serve the children of the area. However, over the last fifteen years the school’s population has quadrupled, from 500 students to just over 2000. A lot of work has had to be done to try and keep up with the influx of students.

The school was previously supported by a small UK based charity that helped provide classrooms, teacher accommodation and toilet blocks. Unfortunately, this support has now ended, yet the growing student numbers mean that the school is facing many challenges. Exam results have been affected as student to teacher ratios fall (only half of the 41 teachers are paid for by the government, the others must be paid for by parents or donors). Scholarships have in the past been offered to some primary school leavers to attend secondary school and some of the brighter students have even been able to attend universities.

Loldia House guests are welcome to visit the school during term time.

Empower Through Giving: Donate Supplies

Looking for a direct way to support the children’s education? We gratefully receive donations of educational supplies. Visit our Packing for a Difference page for helpful suggestions.

There is currently an urgent need for maintaining the current classrooms and building new ones, as well as purchasing classroom desks, dining tables and building new toilet blocks. More teachers need to be appointed and their teaching resources must be improved.  The new dining hall which is nearing completion will also serve as a community centre for the people of Kasarani.

Choose Your Way to Give: Supplies or Online Donation

For your ease, we offer two convenient ways to contribute. You can bring supplies with you, or we can purchase them on your behalf for you to distribute during your visit. Our secure online donation link allows you to support Loldia Primary School from anywhere.

Unlock a Future: Sponsor a Child’s Secondary Education

While primary education is largely accessible, secondary schooling in Kenya requires financial support that many families simply cannot afford. Completing secondary school becomes an unattainable dream for a significant portion of the youth, despite their immense potential. For this reason, many of the Loldia Primary School leaners are unable to go on to attend secondary school.

Our bursary fund sponsorship programme offers comprehensive support to students, providing all the essential resources for three full years of secondary schooling.

For just $25-$40 per month, you can help a child to reach their full potential through secondary school.

A three-year commitment for a day student costs USD $900, while supporting a boarding student for the same period is USD $1500. This crucial funding encompasses their tuition, uniform, meals, local travel, stationery and personal allowance, and boarding fees (if applicable).

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference. We welcome donations to our bursary fund, allowing us to pool resources and ensure that each sponsored child has the financial security to complete all three years (Forms 2, 3, and 4) of their secondary education before we welcome new candidates.

For those who wish to create a deeper connection, we can provide regular updates on the academic progress of the child you sponsor, allowing you to witness the direct impact of your generosity.
