As we celebrate the holiday season, the Lotus School Foundation is grateful to announce the groundbreaking of Kiambani Primary School. Although the school is on holiday break until January, parents, students, and community members gathered to show their support for this meaningful milestone. Their presence was a beautiful reminder of how deeply this project matters to everyone it will serve in this underserved community.

Founded in 1974, Kiambani Primary School has served Makindu and surrounding communities for decades. Most families in this village survive on less than one dollar a day and have an average of four children. Over the years, enrollment has steadily grown , but the school’s infrastructure has struggled to keep up. Many classrooms are now unsafe , with severe cracks in the walls that pose serious risks to both students and teachers.

Currently, the classrooms have been abandoned because the weakened walls could collapse at any time, putting children’s lives in danger. Storm damage has further weakened the buildings, and the temporary roofing repairs can no longer withstand the harsh weather, leading to ongoing leaks that disrupt learning and put students at risk. Building supplies have been secured and construction will begin this week, with completion anticipated by March 2026. Each step brings us closer to welcoming students into safe, inspiring classrooms built to last.

In response, the Lotus School Foundation is committed to rebuilding five safe and durable classrooms, creating a secure learning environment for 200 students.
The new school project is budgeted at $20,003. We are deeply grateful to our generous sponsors. The five classrooms will be lovingly dedicated in honor of: GDPT Lien Hoa San Antonio, Vivian & Jacky, Khang & Tam, Diep & Arturo, and Truc Vi. Your kindness and generosity have turned hope into action.  Together, we are building more than classrooms—we are building opportunity and a brighter future for children and community.

NEW SCHOOL COMPLETED

GRAND-OPENING IS SCHEDULED IN FEBRUARY 2027

A New Chapter Begins at Newly Built Kiambani Primary School!

The Lotus School Foundation is overjoyed to announce the completion of Kiambani Primary School in Kenya—a project that will provide a safe, beautiful, and inspiring place to learn for more than 200 children. In place of the old deteriorating structures now stand five bright new classrooms filled with hope and possibility. These classrooms will give children a safe environment where they can learn, grow, dream, and discover their potential. They will also provide peace of mind to parents and teachers who have long hoped for a better future for their children.

This achievement would not have been possible without the generosity of our incredible sponsors. We are honored to dedicate these classrooms in recognition of our generous sponsors: GDPT Liên Hoa San Antonio, Vivian & Jacky, Khang & Tam Nguyen, Diep & Arturo, and Truc Vi. Your compassion and generosity have created opportunities that will impact hundreds of children for years to come. Because of your support, students now have a place where they can focus on learning instead of worrying about their safety. Together, we have built more than a school—we have built hope, opportunity, and a brighter future for the next generation.
