The students at Greenhill Amani School consistently perform in the top quartile of area schools.
STAFF
The Staff at Greenhill Amani School consists of Head Teacher Walter Kimori, 7 classroom teachers plus a cook, social worker, and security guards. They are led by School Director and Founder Jared Sigara.
nutrition
Many of our students rely on the school to provide consistent nutrition. Our students receive a morning snack and a healthy meal daily including fruits, vegetables, and high protein foods. In 2023 we were able to add an updated kitchen and dining hall to support this effort.
spiritual growth
Spiritual instruction is a central component of our student’s education. This includes daily devotions and weekly instruction by local pastors. We hope to add a chaplain to our team to further develop this aspect of our educational experience.
support
The school is able to grow and thrive due to the generous support of the Christian community.
• We currently provide nearly 100% of the funding needed to operate Greenhill Amani School.
