A campus where ability is the baseline, not the exception.
Blessed Assurance Education Trust operates Blessed Assurance Academy — a day and boarding junior secondary school of 320 learners across two campuses, Syokimau and Prideland. The four blocks of the estate, sixteen vertical levels in all, are being remodelled into a modern centre for inclusive learning, guided by Kenya’s 100% secondary school transition policy and a zero-discrimination admissions policy.
The Trust was incorporated on 11 March 2026 (TPS-VMC47G) under the Trustees (Perpetual Succession) Act, Chapter 164, to hold the estate behind that work. Its first campaign raises KES 38,050,000 to make the campus fully accessible — for persons with disabilities and children with sensory or learning deficiencies, including deafness, visual impairment and autism.

01 — The Trust and the school
The Trust holds the assets. The Academy runs the school.
The Trust and the Academy are not the same legal entity — a distinction donors consistently ask about. The Trust is the incorporated charity. Registered with the Registrar of Companies on 11 March 2026 under the Trustees (Perpetual Succession) Act, Chapter 164 (registration TPS-VMC47G), it holds the land, buildings and assets on behalf of the charitable educational objects, with an initial asset base of KES 50,000.
The Academy is the school the Trust operates under the Education Act, Chapter 210 — 320 learners today, day and boarding, across the Syokimau and Prideland campuses. Donations to this campaign are made to the Trust; every shilling is held and accounted for by the Trust; and no asset may ever be distributed to trustees during operation or winding up.

02 — What the Trust is building
Four pillars, one plan: 2026–2031
The strategic plan organises the work around four pillars. Each is traceable to a line item in the campaign budget below.
-
Pedagogical “value-add” tracking
Each learner’s net growth is measured, not just their scores: the entry baseline is compared against the exit score eight years later. The same data flags underperforming cohorts so targeted academic support can be deployed.
-
Inclusive & PWD-adaptive infrastructure
The campus is remodelled for full physical accessibility, with assistive devices purchased and teachers trained in inclusive education methodology. The expansion targets infrastructure for persons with disabilities and children with sensory or learning deficiencies — including deafness, visual impairment and autism.
-
Specialised campus transport logistics
A dedicated, adapted transport system for learners with mobility and sensory challenges, with trained care assistants on the commute. The first line item in the budget is an adaptive PWD school bus.
-
Sustainable resource mobilisation
The KES 50,000 founding capital is to be scaled into a funded institutional asset through institutional donors, diplomatic missions and corporate foundations.
The estate
Four multi-storey blocks, 16 vertical levels in total — all needing accessibility work.
- Blocks A & B — 3 floors each (ground + 2): standard classrooms and learning labs.
- Blocks C & D — 5 floors each (ground + 4): administration, specialised science labs, libraries and multi-purpose spaces.
03 — The investment
The investment: KES 38,050,000 over five years
2026 estimate at Nairobi rates. The ask is deliberately modular — low-cost, high-impact items come first, with the mechanical installations scheduled as larger international donor tranches clear.
| Item | Scope | Unit rate (KES) | Total (KES) | Phase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commercial passenger lifts | 2 × 5-stop traction lifts, Blocks C & D | 4,500,000 | 9,000,000 | Phase 2 (Years 2–3) |
| Commercial escalator line | 1 unit, ground-to-first-floor alternative, Block C | 6,500,000 | 6,500,000 | Phase 3 (Years 4–5) |
| Adaptive PWD school bus | 1 × 33-seater midi-bus, automatic hydraulic tail-lift, ISO floor tracks, anchor straps | 8,500,000 | 8,500,000 | Phase 1 (Year 1) |
| Continuous safety railings | Stainless steel dual-height guardrails, corridors and staircases, all 16 levels | 250,000 per floor | 4,000,000 | Phase 1 (Year 1) |
| Civil & structural works | Reinforced masonry adjustments, shaft openings, structural prep | Lump sum | 3,500,000 | Phase 1 (Year 1) |
| Specialised disability kits | Braille materials, auditory learning kits, tactile paving paths for visual navigation | Lump sum | 2,000,000 | Phase 1 (Year 1) |
| Professional fees | Architectural and structural engineering oversight (~6%) | Fixed scale | 1,500,000 | Ongoing |
| Standard fleet operations | PSV insurance, driver/assistant training, initial fuel allocation | Annual subtotal | 3,050,000 | Annually, Years 1–5 |
| Total capital ask (2026 estimate) | 38,050,000 | |||
- Phase 1 (Year 1) items total KES 18,000,000 — the adapted bus, safety railings, civil works and disability kits.
- The build is modular: low-cost, high-impact items (railings, tactile paving, disability kits) come first, with the lifts and escalator scheduled as larger international donor tranches clear.
- Heavy works are restricted to school holidays — all structural alteration, lift-shaft drilling and heavy machinery happens in the April, August and December recesses, so learning is never disrupted.
04 — Governance
Governance you can audit
Controls already committed to in the 2026–2031 strategic plan — the fiduciary signals grant officers ask to see before a first conversation.
-
Accounts in the Trust’s name
All bank accounts are held strictly in the name of the Trust.
-
Two signatures, every withdrawal
Cheques and cash withdrawals require the physical signatures of no fewer than two trustees.
-
Ring-fenced CapEx account
Campaign stage 3 plans a ring-fenced Capital Expenditure (CapEx) fund account requiring dual trustee signatures plus an independent project auditor’s sign-off.
-
Annual statutory return
A formal statutory return (trustee names, addresses, occupations) is filed with the Registrar of Companies annually, one month after the anniversary of the certificate date.
-
Assets held for the objects only
The Trust Deed mandates that all land, buildings and vehicles are held exclusively for the charitable educational objects — no asset may be distributed to trustees during operation or winding up.
-
Works timed to the school calendar
Structural alteration, lift-shaft drilling and heavy machinery are restricted to school holidays (April, August, December recesses) to protect learning.

Visit the campus
Come to Syokimau or Prideland. The first year sequences embassy and corporate engagement: diplomatic grassroots funding programmes (e.g. embassy GGP, USAID, UKAid), matching-grant proposals to local foundations, and campus tours for corporate sustainability officers.
