The first Afrocentric School of Africa is growing rapidly

December 06, 2022

Since the British colonists left Kenya in East Africa, very little has changed in education. That’s the perception of Utheri and Oku Kanayo, who have set up Africa's first afrocentric school: the Children in Freedom School in Nakurum Kenya.

"We want the children to understand that it is a privilege and an absolute honor that they are African."
