About Heritage Primary Academy

Since 2006, Village Project Africa’s Heritage Academy Primary School provides year-round education for grades 1st through 6th in Makutano, Kenya. Heritage not only offers an education of the highest degree, but it feeds more than 1,200 students and staff everyday, is home to an on-site health clinic, teaches agriculture at an on-site farm as well as other life skills that will carry students out of their poverty-stricken circumstances and into a promising future.

"Had we not had the Village Project Africa school and Brighter Children sponsorship, some of these kids would not be alive today.

"The sponsored children no longer miss classes because their tuition is paid. We can now pay our teachers more and purchase additional learning materials and textbooks. These are factors that help our children improve in literacy and have excellent test scores on national exams.”

— Margaret Lewis, Founder of Village Project Africa
