Trevor started going to Kenya in 2008 initially volunteering at a school and orphanage.

In 2010 he started sponsoring 2 children to attend a local school.

By 2011 there were 14 children being fully sponsored and attending school.

Trevor was keen to find a way of helping even more children obtain an education.

In 2012 he opened ‘Faithmount School’ with 1 teacher and 23 pupils.

By the end of the first week there were 45 pupils.

The school has continued to grow every term since.

In 2013 the charity ‘Kilifi Schools Education Fund’ was set up to help finance the school.

At this point over 50 friends, family and colleagues contribute on a regular monthly basis.

In 2013 the school was officially registered as a school and exam centre.

In 2014 the school sat for the national exams of Kenya for the first time – KCPE.  

In May 2015 our landlady gave us the devastating news that she did not want us to rent the school any longer.

We spent a month looking for new premises, but there were none suitable.

In June 2015 we found a 2 acre piece of land which we purchased with plans to build our own new school.

By December 2015 we had built 16 new classes and we renamed our school, 'Kingston Junior Academy'  was born.

In January 2016 our new school opened and we had now grown to 260 pupils.

We could not have built our school without help from so many supporters, especially Barclays Bank and South Hunsley School.

The school continued to grow and each year we entered pupils for the KCPE exams.

By 2017 we had grown to over 350 pupils and we successfully raised the funds to build a school hall as well as getting piped  drinking water to the school.

In 2018 we were successful in getting solar power connected  giving us lights in the classrooms.

In 2019 we had grown to 420 pupils and had successfully built 2 more classes. We also started to have 2 streams for some classes.

In 2020 we passed 500 pupils for the first time and had 16 teaching staff with most year groups having two streams.

In 2023 we grew to almost 700 pupils with 22 staff.

We continue to enter students annually for the KCPE exams, with great success.

In 2023 we opened our new Junior Secondary School.
