At Pamoja, we believe education is not just about what you learn—it’s about how you grow. On our island, learning takes many forms: planting mangroves, performing poetry, paddling the ocean, or standing tall for your rights.
From toddlers to teens, we nurture youth to explore their world, understand their power, and lead with purpose.
Our education work is grounded in three powerful models—each one tailored to the needs, realities, and dreams of young people in Lamu:
Learning That Grows With Life Shamba La Shela is not your typical school. While it follows the Kenyan curriculum, it adds something rare—joyful learning rooted in real life.

Here, school is a place where growth feels natural—and learning is something to look forward to.

These spaces grow self-trust, sisterhood, and the strength to lead—in class and beyond.
