Background and Location: Starehe Site is a boys' high school founded in 1959 in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, by Dr. Griffin. The name "Starehe" is Swahili for "Tranquility", signifying a place where bright orphaned boys from rural communities get quality education through sponsorship at a first class scholastic centre.
