Magadi Primary School

Our school in Magadi serves children and families in one of the more remote areas of our ministry. Distance and limited access to resources can make everyday needs—education, healthcare, transportation, food, and reliable support—especially difficult for families. For many children, the school and church become much more than places to learn and worship; they are a consistent source of care, stability, and opportunity.

Serving in Magadi also means working thoughtfully within deeply rooted Maasai traditions and community structures. While there is much beauty and strength within the Maasai culture, some traditional practices can leave girls and vulnerable children at greater risk or limit their opportunities for education and a different future. Our local Kenyan leaders work within these relationships to advocate for the safety, dignity, and education of every child while building trust with families and the surrounding community.

Community life in this region is also highly communal, with an expectation that available resources will often be shared among extended family and neighbors. This spirit of sharing can be a tremendous strength, but in a community where resources are already scarce, it can also place significant pressure on the school and church as they respond to needs extending far beyond the children enrolled in our programs.

In Magadi, our goal is not simply to operate a school. We want to create a safe and dependable place where children are known, protected, educated, fed, and encouraged to dream about what their future can hold. Through education, discipleship, and long-term relationships with families, we hope to help strengthen the entire community—one child at a time.
