In the heart of uncertainty and disbelief, the seeds of greatness were sown. Children in Freedom School emerged from the ashes of doubt, a testament to resilience and unwavering belief.

Our genesis was marked by skepticism, by voices that were both whispers and shouts, ”Impossible! What does Afrocentrism mean? Is it witchcraft?” Amidst such doubt, we stood firm, nurturing a vision against the odds—a school that would re-root education in Africa’s powerful truths and revive Africa’s glory on the global stage. There were days when support waned, when even self belief was a lone beacon in the dark. The journey was arduous, marked by the silence of disbelief and the echoes of fear. But in our solitude and radical belief of self and vision, our roots grew deeper, drawing strength from adversity.

In the face of abandonment, we found our resolve. Every closed door became a challenge to knock harder, every doubt a reason to believe stronger. We were tested by the trials that paved our path including threats to life and limb that almost made us terminate the vision but we kept on and never gave up.

Yet, in the midst of all this, a divine hand guided us. Against all odds, doors began to open, helpers emerged, and resources flowed abundantly. It was a testament to faith, a testament to a higher calling. It was when we knew we where on a divine mission!

God’s grace amplified our efforts exponentially. What began as a whisper of hope became a resounding testament to resilience. Through His blessings, we multiplied—rising from the ashes of doubt to the pinnacle of recognition.

Today, Children in Freedom School stands as a beacon of hope, a testament to triumph over tribulation. Our journey reflects not just the struggle but the perseverance that transformed challenges into opportunities and victory. In tears we have grown, in rejection we have grown, in pain we are still growing even stronger!

Being the first Afrocentric school has made us meet great minds of the continent like Prof. Ngugi Wa Thiongo, and has further led us in winning awards we never believed would come this fast such as being listed as a Top 10 World’s Best School in the 2023 T4 Education initiative listing, and receiving the first Metis Liberatory Award in 2021. God sometimes takes us into troubled waters not to drown us but to cleanse us.

Join us in celebrating this tale of resilience, where radical belief and hard work conquered doubt, and where struggles birthed triumphs. This is the story of Children In Freedom Schools —a testament to the unfaltering spirit that turned adversity into a legacy of greatness.
