Primary school - Kemodo Baptist Academy
Overview
Kemodo Baptist Academy is a primary school affiliated with Kemodo Baptist Church, serving students from Pre‑Kindergarten through high school graduation. Nearly 200 students are enrolled for the 2026 school year, each receiving a strong education shaped by Christian values and aligned with Kenyan Ministry of Education standards. Tuition is 11,000 Ksh per year (about $86)—a significant sacrifice for many families in Busia, where income is often limited and inconsistent.

Consider It Joy partners with Kemodo Baptist Church to ensure that children can begin and continue their education, regardless of their family’s financial situation. Scholarships help cover tuition for students who would otherwise be unable to attend, and additional support for the school helps provide nutritious meals for both students and faculty—meals that, for many children, are the only reliable food they receive each day. By strengthening both educational access and daily nourishment, this partnership creates stability that keeps students in school, supports their growth, and expands their future opportunities.
Kemodo Baptist Church
Children in Kenya must pay to attend quality schools, and when a family cannot meet those costs, a child often simply stays home. When basic necessities like food and shelter are uncertain, education becomes an unaffordable luxury rather than a reachable goal. Kemodo Baptist Church steps into this gap by allowing children to continue attending Kemodo Baptist Academy even when their families fall behind on payments. This act of grace keeps students learning instead of losing ground or dropping out entirely.
