Making a Real Difference 💚
Every day, we're creating positive change in our community
Since opening our doors in 2015, St. Alloyce School has been more than just a place of learning. We're a beacon of hope for families in rural Kandiege - providing quality education, nutritious meals, and opportunities that many children in our area would never have otherwise.
We believe in sustainable development - helping our community grow in ways that protect our environment, empower families, and create lasting change. Every child we educate is an investment in our community's future.

Our Sustainability Efforts 🌍
Taking care of our environment and community
Tree Planting Program
We've planted over 200 trees on our school compound since 2015. Students learn about environmental conservation while creating shade and improving our air quality. Each graduating class plants trees as their legacy.
Waste Management
We teach students about reducing, reusing, and recycling. Organic waste from our kitchen goes to our small compost pit. Plastic bottles are collected and reused for plant containers and creative projects.
Kitchen Garden
Our small vegetable garden provides fresh greens for our feeding program. Students help with watering and harvesting, learning practical agriculture skills. We grow sukuma wiki, spinach, and tomatoes organically.
Rainwater Harvesting
We collect rainwater from our classroom roofs during rainy seasons. This water is used for gardening and handwashing, reducing our dependence on the borehole. Simple gutters make a big difference!
Walking to School
Most of our students walk to school (1-3 km daily). This keeps them healthy and active while having zero carbon emissions. We're proud of our green commute! Parents organize walking groups for safety.
Book Sharing
Instead of requiring each student to buy new textbooks, we share resources and pass them down to younger students. This reduces waste and keeps education affordable. Community donations help expand our library.
Impact on Our Community 🤝
Employment
We employ 18 local people - teachers, cooks, guards, and support staff. These jobs support entire families in our community. We prioritize hiring from Kandiege and surrounding villages.
Local Suppliers
We buy our vegetables, maize, beans, and other supplies from local farmers and shops. Over KSh 500,000 annually stays in our local economy. Supporting our neighbors helps everyone prosper.
Health Awareness
We teach children about hygiene, nutrition, and disease prevention. Students share this knowledge with their families. Regular handwashing, clean water, and healthy habits are changing community health.
Girls' Education
48% of our students are girls. We actively encourage families to educate their daughters. Many of our female graduates are the first in their families to complete primary education and move to secondary school.
Community Center
Our school serves as a community meeting place. We host parent meetings, health campaigns, and voting during elections. We're more than a school - we're the heart of Kandiege village.
Adult Literacy
Some parents who never went to school attend evening literacy classes taught by our teachers (voluntary). Learning to read and write is transforming lives at any age.
