GRASP Academy
Education for Eternity
About This Program
Grace Link Springs of Hope Preparatory Academy (GRASP) is an integrated early childhood development and inclusive education center for vulnerable children in Kilifi County. Starting as a compassionate family-run nutritional center during COVID-19, GRASP has evolved into a preparatory academy providing holistic learning opportunities for children aged 2-12 years from ultra-poor and at-risk peri-urban families. Currently serving 100 children, we provide quality education, nutrition, and comprehensive care in a safe, nurturing environment.
