Sakui is currently studying at Nanyuki Boys High School in Nanyuki, Kenya.  He will graduate in December 2015.  Sakui is a graduate from our partner at Lokusero Primary in the Maasai community of Il Ngwesi in Laikipia, Kenya.  The vast majority of primary graduates from Lokusero cannot go onto secondary school since they have no secondary school in their community and must pay a great deal to attend a boarding school. He dreams to go to university which is practically unheard of in his community.

Tuition costs for one year including room and board (2013): 39430 Ksh (about $465 depending on exchange) This is excluding other expenses such as a school uniform and transportation to his home during holidays.
