Upendo Junior School

Upendo Junior School was initially started as a school for displaced and orphaned children in 2008 following the PEV in the country. The School is situated at Kiminini Market, near Kitale in Kenya. UJS was set up by Dr. Masibo Lumala as a thank you to his local community and in realization of the eed to provide quality education to all children regardless of their backgrounds. Recent troubles in Kenya have meant there are still many needy children and many new orphans needing support.

The School Football Team!

During my recent visit to the University of Nottingham, where I received the Alumni Laureate Award for the contribution Rose and I have made in my community by way of starting up Upendo Junior School, we had the honour of visiting Wadsworth Fields Primary School. As before the children were very pleased to meet us and we planted shrubs to mark the occasion. The school gave us games kits for our children. The boys football team was very pleased with their gifts!
