" To give hope and opportunity to the children of Gitombo
through A Christ - Centered education."
WHO WE ARE
For more than 8 years, PAAV International has partnered with the Gitombo community in central Kenya to empower youth in the region through education and skills training so that they may improve social and economic conditions in the community.
Our Mission In
Gitombo Village
PAAV’S mission is to educate the underprivileged children in Gitombo village in a Christian environment by creatively tapping the potential in each child to become the person God intended them to be according to His plan and purpose. (Jeremiah 29:11; Proverbs 22:6)
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Gitombo
Kenya, Kiambu County
North of Nairobi, Kenyas’s capital city
Our Plans
The school is growing and making a difference in this impoverished community.
While the school started with less than ten children, it has 141 children.
While PAAV has made tremendous strides in the education of the children
the prevailing /overriding challenge remains: how to empower the parents
so they may educate their children and provide for their families.
PAAV is making efforts to reach/empower the parents
hoping for transformed families in the community.
You can make a difference.
Education can change the entire course of a child’s life in Gitombo village.
“The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.” – B.B. King
PAAV gitombo school requires your help.
Together we can help these kids to receive their education and give them a chance for a bright future.

Be a part of the change.
Education is “the passport to human development.” Sponsor-A-Classroom gives quality education to children.
Education is the most powerful, sustainable resource to help our children change their lives and their communities.
Access to top school teachers, school supplies, and educational books are scarce and expensive.
PAAV Gitombo Community School has been providing education to vulnerable children in Gitombo village since 2014. For parents who cannot afford an education, PAAV Gitombo supports their child’s education for free – but, nothing is free. PAAV Gitombo School funds the learning materials, meals and teacher salaries.
Education requires sustainable support.
