Why did we open a school in the desert?
- Lack of water. Water is the source of life. Access to water is very limited.
- Lack of educational institutions. Children have never studied and unfortunately grew up illiterate
- Hunger. Due to frequent droughts and poverty, children in the desert are at higher risks of starvation
- Lack of education and human values

The school has four classes, each with There are four grades working, each has 50 pupils in it. 50 students.The students have five lessons a day: Math, English, cost of Health, and their native language – Swahili.
The Turkana Desert is situated in the northern part of Kenya and occupies 77 000 square kilometers. It is the second poorest Keniya area because of the permanent droughts and famine
Bishop Benson and his wife Faith Akurio have heard the call of God in their hearts and gladly followed this commandment of serving the children by getting the knowledge and Biblical truth to them.
Regarding this service and to the self-sacrificing servants, who are getting rich toward God, somewhere far there in the northern part of Kenya the parents of these students are praying and thanking the Lord for such mercy and grace, are being happy for the newly opened school and drinking water, the children today, having the spark in the eyes, are running to face his/ her beloved teachers, touching the hot sand of Turkana being completely barefoot and blessed.
