About Daylight Center and School
Daylight Center is a school, dormitory, and community outreach facility where children from the war-torn world of Nomadic Kenya come to find safety, food, education, and love. This project was begun by leaders from the nomadic communities who sought to bring peace, education, and hope to their tribes. Daylight brings together children from across the nomadic region and includes children of all tribes. These tribes are in a constant state of war with one another and Daylight is raising a new generation of indigenous leaders to transform their culture. The children of Daylight live in safety knowing that they are building a future for themselves and their people.
Life before Daylight
The children of the nomadic tribes spend their days herding cattle, looking for food, fighting against enemy tribes, and waiting for an opportunity to go to school. Kenyan schools are not free and the nomadic families can not afford to pay school fees. Many kids are killed in tribal fighting, die of starvation, or lose hope for their future and turn to a life of cattle stealing. Daylight School stops this cycle of poverty by offering them a chance at a hope and a future.
Daylight Center and School is located in the city of Kapenguria at the edge of the nomadic lands. There are 80,000 people from 5 major tribes living in the Northern Rift Valley.
