Olepoipoi School Kenya
Since 2005 we have been coaching children in different parts of the world with our Just Bee children's character and diversity coaching program. Our program has changed lives and inspired many people to share and carry our message of education and respect.
​
In 2006 we began our journey in lolgorian , Kenya. The lessons were presented by our teacher Sampuoti, to a few children under a tree. As we progressed, we then use a classroom, that had some walls, dirt floors and a provisional blackboard.
As we kept developing the program the community was aware, and the school participation was growing.
We planted trees, vegetables and as the school population was growing we needed to be able to offer classrooms so we began construction and expansion of the school.
With a spirit of collaboration, together with members of the local community and the school district, we started this project with a common goal: To provide students with a place that inspires learning, in a safe and happy environment. After many challenges, we were able to finish the first classrooms.​
​
The construction was done; however, we needed the finishing touches such as painting, decorating, furniture and naturally providing the learning materials, teaching tools and creativity in order to maximize the learning experience of the students.
We continue our work in the classrooms and saw a great improvement in their grades and performance. We were able to install the new electric transformer and solar panels to provide electricity, water, food and continue with our character building education program.
​
The community and families have collaborated and celebrated their achievements under the inspiration of teachers like Sampuoti, our foundation leader in Kenya.
​
There are more and more students, both male and female, their academic scores keep improving year after year, and the families are integrated and committed to education and community development.
In April 2022, a group of 7 Colombians went to continue our mission, to inspire, collaborate and learn together. Our goal was to complete the 4 classrooms that were built and donate a water tank to another school in need.
​
We work decorating classrooms, teaching Just Bee classes, sharing love and giving respect and leading by example.

​
As each student learns to take responsibility for living the twelve lessons presented in our program, their lives, as well as those of their classmates and families, begin the transformation.
​
Now we see everyone's commitment, the will of teachers, families, and students to create a place that invites learning, collaboration, respect and growth. We have created a place so that each person can be their best version, and that has become the motto of the OLEPOIPOI SCHOOL... A PLACE to JUST BEE YOUR BEST.
We continue to feed their minds and spirit of collaboration with knowledge, values, example and respect through the Just Bee children's coaching program, as well as their bodies providing the necessary food and water on school days.
​
​The water tanks now have filtration systems provided by the county and we continue to send funds for food as well as seeds for their gardens.
In 2024, we developed a project at Olepoipoi School that is changing lives.
​
The " MASSAI BEEHIVE" is a multipurpose space designed to accommodate 60 kindergarten children, also serves as a library centered on Maasai culture, where students can learn and share their culture with the world while also exploring other cultures. Additionally, it serves as a gathering place for the Maasai community.
​
We provided internet connections, flat screen tv and a computer, so we can connect, learn from each other and share. We know for sure and have proven that by coaching and mentoring children at an early age, we can change the world… and your support makes this mission possible!
We are immensely proud and grateful for the opportunity we have to serve, share, and learn together. We are celebrating diversity and respect for each person, sharing our cultures, celebrating our achievements, and moving forward.
​
We know that a small group of committed individuals can achieve wonderful things together. Through education and mutual respect, we can advance in the development of exemplary citizens.
