About us
A special needs school and community in Ngong, named after two siblings whose journeys shaped everything we do.
Named after Joseph and Freshia
Jofreshia is named after Joseph and Freshia, two bubbly siblings whose journeys are set apart by one thing: early intervention. Freshia, the older of the two, lives with multiple disabilities and visual impairment and depends on her parents in every sense of the word. Joseph was diagnosed with autism at the age of two, and the support he received from that point on shaped the independent young man he is today.
That difference is why we exist. We walk with families from the first assessment, through therapy and classroom learning, all the way to skills that can earn an income.
What guides us
Three commitments shape every plan we write for a learner.
Dignity first
Every plan starts with what a learner can do. We build on strengths and celebrate small wins loudly.
Family partnership
Parents and guardians are part of the team. We share progress, setbacks and next steps openly.
Independence
From brushing teeth to baking a cake for sale, we teach skills that carry into adult life.
The three pillars
Everything we teach sits under one of these three pillars.
Early intervention
Early identification, assessment, physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
Functional & education skills
Daily living, communication, pre-academics and life skills.
Economic empowerment
Vocational training that turns skills into an income.
