Our Slogan
“Educating minds, shaping futures.”
Our school is expanding steadily, and with this growth comes the need for additional infrastructure. To support the increasing number of students and ensure an optimal learning environment, we are constructing more classrooms as part of our ongoing campus development.
At Furaha Foundation, we believe that every child deserves a chance to learn, grow, and dream—regardless of their background. Through our education support programs, we are transforming lives by making quality education accessible to vulnerable children, especially orphans and those from low-income families.
Furaha Foundation offers bursaries to children who show potential but face financial hardship. These bursaries cover part or all of a student’s school fees, including tuition, meals, uniforms, and scholastic materials. Our aim is to ensure that no child is left behind due to poverty or lack of opportunity.

Your support provides a child with a safe learning environment, meals, school supplies, and emotional care.
