Welcome
Destiny
Garden School is founded by Jacob Boaz Muoga and provides
education for 180 children from the
age of 2½ to 13 years in
Mtongwe, Likoni Division, one of the poorest suburbs
of Mombasa on Kenya's coast. Not only does providing these
children with education improve their future but it also keeps
them off the streets where they could become involved in gang
culture, drugs and prostitution.
Most families of the children will earn around $3US per day and most
struggle to find regular work in an area where jobs are scarce.
It is not uncommon for families to go without food for the day.
The school provides the children with a snack mid morning and a
full meal at lunch - sometimes their only meal of the day.
