Arbing School Kamobo is a non-profit primary school in Kamobo in western Kenya. It has been supported by the NGO Arbing meets Africa since 2015 and has been growing ever since. The vision defined by the community when it was founded in 2014 is: “to provide affordable quality education”.

The idea of the Kenyan founders was to pool the little money available to offer their children an alternative to the heavily overburdened state school system. The preschool and elementary school currently provide a school place for more than 300 children. The basic idea of the community has been continued, which is why parents continue to make a financial contribution in the form of a low school fee. For children from particularly difficult backgrounds, the social unit provides further relief. The Arbing School Kamobo project is well on the way to becoming largely independent of external funding and is still managed by the original founders.
