Review for BRAN-DEN JUNIOR SCHOOL, Nairobi, , Kenya
I am an education official with the Ministry of education in kenya. I learnt about BRAN-DEN junior school while I was conducting the inspection of the school. I then approached the school direcor about a bright child of a displaced family during the post-election violence in kenya whose parents had been displaced with all the siblings and they we strugling to put food on the table therefore the children could not go to school. The school dierctor immediately took two children on board and provided uniforms, boarding requirements and is accomodating and providing education to them at no cost to the parents through the school. This really moved me and I saw the hand of a real mother and educator in the director and the work of God through the school.

Hi GIsh, I am glad that I was of help to the family that you referred to us. The two children as you know are perfoming very well academically and are very active in extra-curriculum activities. You are very right in what you said we would do with 10 million bucks. I am happy to know that you know or cause very well and represent it as if you were part of us. Cheers and We promise to do much more than we are currently able to do. We are in existence to help as many people as possible gain access to the main basics of life - food, shelther and clothing and for the child an additonal need - EDUCATION - the key to success
