Grapevine Community School was started January 4, 2010. Our school motto is: EDUCATION IS WEALTH. The school is managed by the Grapevine Self-Help Group, a group of 10 members. The school itself is registered as a CBO with the Kenyan Ministry of Gender, Sports and Social Services. There are a total of 110 registered students, but only 57 of these students are attending classes on a regular basis. Grapevine Community School is located in Njiru sub-location, Nijiru location of the newly created Njiru District. It is located in Sewage village, named for its location along the main sewage line. It borders Matopeni to the West, Mihango and Kware (quarry) to the East and Kayole to the South, in the slum area just outside of Nairobi and area which is rapidly growing.

Many children in our village are not going to school due to a variety of reasons. These reasons include: abject poverty, ignorance among some of the parents, and child labor by parents among others. There are many children of school going age idling around in our village. Despite the fact that we charge very little fees, they still cannot afford it. It is in virtue of these that we are inviting friends, well-wishers, and charitable organizations to volunteer with us. We hope that Nabuur can help link the school to organizations that can help support the development of their school so that it can in turn provide education of the highest quality to the children of their community.

Our immediate needs are: desks to use on the available space, books that the students can read and understand, and materials to build 2 temporary classrooms to accommodate the influx of new students. The school would also greatly benefit from a water storage facility and support for its feeding program.

We look forward to what we can accomplish together!
