“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
– Proverbs 22:6

Founded in 2003 by a local pastor through a generous anonymous gift, New Adventures School, has continued to thrive throughout the past several years. Adventures in Missions began its partnership with New Adventures shortly after. Since then the school has seen many changes. Many of these are credited to the hard work of the school superintendent, Pastor George Odhiambo. New classrooms were acquired to keep up with the growth in the student population, standard 8 was added to complete the primary school, a feeding program through the government makes providing meals possible, all the teachers are now certified, and the school is recognized by the government as a legal informal school allowing students to take tests to continue on to secondary schools in the area.
