The Schools

EACDT is working in seventeen schools in and around Nairobi, Kenya. Many of these are located in the poorest slums and face a constant, uphill struggle. Chronic overcrowding, a lack of resources and frequent theft of school property by local residents, are every-day challenges. Despite this, the teachers and pupils are full of smiles and resolve and greatly appreciate whatever help they receive.  To learn about individual schools, click on any of them on the map on the right.

“Knowing that we can change a child’s life through the programme – it’s humbling”

Dr. Mike Boit

“The use of cricket to develop character at this point in time is most desirable. The use of cricket character development is a most realistic solution to the social problems affecting the youth.”

David Gower OBE

“I know East Africa well & the hurdles many of its young people must clear to have even half-decent lives. This EACDT initiative, combining education & life skills through sport, deserves as much support as we can give it.”
