Living Hope Senior School

A Beacon of Education and Faith in Kenya

Living Hope High School is an accredited boarding school in Bungoma, Kenya, serving orphaned and underprivileged youth. Founded in 2009 in a rented shed with just four students, it has grown into a thriving campus through the faith, vision, and retirement savings of Marilyn Uhl, with the assistance of her sister, Helen.

Today, through generous donor support, we provide 88 students with safe housing, healthcare, and quality secondary education, with enrolment expected to reach 130 students by 2028. The student population is 121 as of 2027. The school employs 11 teachers and 1 Principal, Human resource /book keeper, and is managed by the Board of Directors in USA and an international coordinator Missionary team in Kenya. The missionary team is a Kenyan/USA married couple with a daughter named Precious.  Together, we equip students with knowledge, practical skills, Christian values, and confidence to break the cycle of poverty and become future leaders.

Through faith, academic standards, and holistic care, we help children break cycles of poverty and discover their calling in Christ.

How We Support Our Students

Faith & Christian Leadership

Grounded in the infallible authority of God’s Word, we nurture students to cultivate their God-given minds and spiritual gifts. Daily devotions, Bible studies, and the W.I.L.D. (Wise Intentional Leadership Development) program empower students to lead chapel services, join Christian Union, and live out their faith.

Through Sunday services, choir outreach, local community service, and agricultural projects, students learn true servant leadership. As we transition to Kenya’s CBE curriculum (Grades 10–12), we remain dedicated to stewarding every student’s intellectual gifts to the highest standard, honoring God through academic excellence and Christian unity.

ABOUT US

Empowering Students
Bringing Hope

Grounded in James 1:27 and the biblical mandate to defend and uplift the fatherless, Living Hope Senior School operates as both a top-tier academic haven and a loving home. We reject worldly standards by investing in Bungoma County’s most vulnerable and orphaned youth, affirming their equal worth and unique, God-given purpose as young men and women created in His image.

Beyond providing secure cottages, healthcare, and nutritious meals, we steward each student’s intellectual gifts to their fullest potential. By uniting rigorous academics with deep biblical truth, we break generational cycles of poverty—raising an intellectually elite, Christ-centered generation ready to lead their nation with integrity.
