Journey of Hope: June 2024

In 2010 St. Aloysius began receiving visitors from the United States in late June to take part in the annual celebration of the school patron, St. Aloysius Gonzaga and visit other ministries and attractions in Nairobi. This experience is a spiritual discovery journey that takes people out of their comfort zones to be in solidarity with those that are less fortunate in another part of the world. This experience is enriched with the support of a Jesuit Chaplain, who offers spiritual reflections each day.

The next trip is scheduled for June 2025. St. Al’s Day will be on June 22, 2025. If you would like more information about the visit, please see the 2024 brochure below or contact Cristine Pope at 312-834-6118, cristinepope@schoolofhopekenya.org.

Volunteer

St Al’s has a long tradition of welcoming volunteers offering their time, talent, and resources. We offer a wide range of opportunities for people of all abilities and interests. Volunteer work is very significant at St. Al’s and is highly appreciated. Some potential areas for volunteer work at St. Al’s include: teaching & tutoring, IT department, sports & drama coaching, cleaning & sanitation, as well as help in the school clinic, library, social department, and counseling, and giving talks on topical issues or liturgy/catechism.

If you would like more information about volunteering, please contact Cristine Pope at 312-834-618 or cristinepope@schoolofhopekenya.org.

Nursing students from University of Michigan-Flint visit annually to provide health screenings and health education for the students.

Fundraise

School of Hope Foundation seeks to raise $700,000 annually for the operating budget of St. Aloysius Gonzaga. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, and the efforts of the Board and Associate Board, we have been able to meet this goal and provide free high quality education to 280 motivated students from Kibera informal settlement. Over the past 20 years, we have received over $20 million in individual donations for the school. Each year,100% of annual operating funds come from individual donors and small family foundations.

Please join our fundraising efforts through supporting our campaigns, becoming a volunteer, or spreading the word about the important work of the school.
