Dreamland Education Centre
Changing Lives through Education
Dreamland Education Centre (DEC) is our Primary school where children in Kimilili are given a chance to thrive, receive an education, to be fed, clothed and to play in a safe environment.
The school was built in 2001 with a purpose built dormitory completed at the end of 2021. The school is 3km outside of Kimilili town on the same site as Dreamland Mission Hospital, with a school bus available for day students.
DEC is consistently in the top five schools in the county. This means that children have a chance of going on to secondary school and therefore potentially college or university and the chance of getting a well paid and respected job. This is just a dream for many children in rural Kenya.
You can help make school a reality for a deprived child by committing to sponsor them for £28 a month. We would love to welcome them to DEC – we have children waiting to go to school right now!
Cover the costs of school uniform and shoes.
Ensure a child has the books and educational resources required to succeed in school.
Receive regular reports on the progress of a child you sponsor.
Ongoing education
We also support children through secondary school and into higher education. We want to see them go on to thrive and be equipped with the learning and skills they need to realise their full potential in life.
We are urgently seeking sponsors for students who are ready to apply for university and college, or who are already in higher education. Could you commit to giving £50 per month towards course fees? This is a chance that so few young people have in Kenya.
Become a Sponsor and transform a child’s life today.
Other Ways You Can Help
We understand that not everyone can commit to a monthly sponsorship. There are several other ways in which you can impact the lives of the children we serve.
Single Donation
A one-off donation of whatever size will help support a child through school and help alleviate the financial burden faced by many families.
Buy Them a Gift
Purchase a Gift for Life in our shop – you could give a child free school lunches for a month, pay for 1 month’s worth of school fees or provide an essential school starter pack.
Lives Changed
Aron comes from a family of 10 children. His parents are subsistence farmers, growing their own food on a small plot of land. They struggle to make ends meet and are very grateful to the generous sponsor who is enabling Aron to attend DEC.
Just £28 is all it takes to ensure a child can attend Primary school with everything they need to thrive.
