Headstart began in 2004 as a day-care centre for the children of women in a Maji Mazuri microfinance programme, after several children were hurt in house fires while their mothers were at work. It has since become a full community school in Mathare 3C with more than 550 learners, from pre-schoolers to about age 15, and 17 teachers. Maji Mazuri, a Kenyan NGO founded in 1984 by Dr Wanjiku Kironyo, runs it with a management committee that includes two parents from each class. The school follows the national curriculum, serves tea and a hot lunch every day, and has talent coaches for music, drama and sport.
