Light Uriri Academy

Our mission is to challenge every pupil to be the best academically and behaviorally in the community that we serve

Light Uriri Academy is a privately run school for orphans and vulnerable children in Uriri sub-county. The purpose of the school is to provide a safe living and learning environment as well as education in conjunction with spiritual skills. The school is based on ethical values promoting culture and tradition hand in hand with an understanding and appreciation of the modern world.

A vast majority of our population lives a considerable distance from good schools and infrastructure. Experiencing high rates of poverty, disease, infection and harsh living conditions many children lose one or both parents early in life and become orphans. Kenya’s people are warmhearted and provide orphans with basic shelter and food, yet, as they themselves are poor; they are unable to provide children with a nurturing education.
