Our Journey
2020
Beacon as a Prime
Goal is to expand the medical facility to a hospital status. Overall expansion to new counties and countries. Beacon becomes the prime organization—supporting other smaller organizations as a way of scaling its mission. New location identified (50 acres of land) to expand to a secondary school and college. Both primary school and vocational training college are best performing in all aspects of education and have become the schools of choice in Kajiado and Kenya. BOH continues to prove itself as an excellent example of self-sustainability for comprehensive community transformation; becoming a role model community transformation throughout Africa.
