Kijana Global Innovation School

Buchenya, Kenya
Ongoing Project
with Harpreet Dhaliwal

The Kijana Global Innovation School is built upon a longstanding foundation of school and relationship building in Kenya. From 2002-2018, Kijana Educational Empowerment Initiative provided a pivotal role in helping to transform education in Vihiga County in western Kenya.

Kijana’s mission is to promote and cultivate youth empowerment through educational development, cross-cultural dialogue, and sustainable economic growth among under-served Kenyan school communities and American school communities. Kijana is developing a creative and collaborative curriculum, and part of this vision is an architecturally unique setting.

Dameron Architecture and Harpreet Dhaliwal have been collaborating with Kijana and Kenyan architect, Jeremiah Awori, since 2021 to design their growing campus of world-class educational facilities. We are currently working on a innovative and sustainable library/media center and amphitheater for the school.
