On September 4, 1989, East Africa welcomed its first Waldorf Kindergarten in Rongai, a ground-breaking step in alternative education. This visionary institution was founded by Nani Croze, whose dream was to establish the first Steiner School in Africa north of South Africa. With unwavering support from German Waldorf schools and guidance from Dr. Hans-Georg Krause, a leading figure in Anthroposophical-Waldorf philosophy, this initiative laid the foundation for Waldorf education in the region.

Testimonials

"A Village for Kids Hidden in the Woods - The project was commissioned by a Waldorf school in Nairobi, an institution deeply connected to nature and grounded in Anthroposophy. The buildings needed to be constructed quickly, cost-effectively (achieving a cost of 250$/m²), and with a temporary lifespan, as the plot lease is set to expire in 10 years."<a href="https://www.archdaily.com/1025737/nairobi-waldorf-school-urko-sanchez-architects">Nairobi Waldorf School Trust covered in arch daily </a>

"social connections and the opportunity to be surrounded by nature"

"When James joined Hillcrest, he was excited by the adventure. It was as though Waldorf education had opened his mind to learning. As a self-conscious child, Waldorf gave him confidence and the ability to make friends. He has won academic prizes, been house captain, and played on most sports teams. He has moved school three times since then, and even now in New Zealand he is reaping the benefits of his earlier years at the Nairobi Waldorf School Trust."
