The Mogra journey began in 1998 when Rev. Hannah, a successful businesswoman, founded Mogra Star Academy to provide quality education for underprivileged children in Mathare, Kenya.
When the HIV/AIDS crisis left many children orphaned, she expanded her mission to include feeding and sheltering the most vulnerable. In 2004, Mogra Rescue Centre was formally established after the government entrusted Rev. Hannah with 46 girls rescued from the streets.
During Kenya’s 2007 post-election violence, Rev Hannah took in the 167 children, sheltering them in her own home before she and her husband donated land to build permanent dormitories., where we are currently located. Today, Mogra provides a home and education to hundreds of children who would otherwise have nowhere to turn.
“I started Mogra because I know what it’s like to miss out on education as a child. I never had the chance to go to school, but I always believed in the power of learning and the difference that love and support can make. Mogra began as a school but grew into something much more—a family where children find safety and hope. Every child deserves the chance to shine, and that’s what we work for everyday. Thank you for joining us on this journey.”
