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.
