Fees at Starehe At least 70% of places at Starehe are reserved for children from poor backgrounds, while 30% are granted to fee-paying children, We seek sponsorships for the disadvantaged children — and are only able to keep them in school due to the generosity of individuals and organisations of goodwill from across the world, including our alumni (Old Starchians) who are our largest single funder. The fee paying boys are charged fees according to the means of their families, subject to an economic minimum. ‘We ardently encourage candidates applying for a sponsored place at Starehe to also apply for support from the various Foundations and Programmes that support poor children, including the Constituency Development Fund and similar bursaries. Where they are granted such support, it will fund their education at Starehe should they be admitted at the Centre. Admission to Starehe does not disqualify one from receiving such support.
