What makes Chariots for Hope Academy distinct?

Small Class Size

At the local public school in Maai Mahiu, class sizes ranged from 80 – 110 children per teacher. This is incomprehensible to our American mindset. In many classrooms there were not nearly enough desks and children used slabs of wood piled on rocks to complete their assignments. At Maai Mahiu Academy the class size is limited to 30 students per teacher.

Dedicated Staff

Leading Chariots for Hope Academy at Maai Mahiu is Victor Oyoo. He brings to the table both the expertise on school administration as well as deep relationships with the children and an understanding of their needs.

Joining Victor are qualified teachers who are dedicated to helping our children learn in creative and interactive ways. They are teachable themselves and eager to learn ways of educating the children beyond the typical rote memorization methods that are often used.
