You can tell a lot about a school by what its students do when no one is watching. At St. Joseph Girls’ Secondary School, a Catholic girls boarding school nestled in the heart of Maungu, Taita Taveta, service isn’t a buzzword. It’s a lifestyle.
You won’t just find young women chasing academic excellence in classrooms or rehearsing cultural dances in the halls. You’ll find them cleaning dusty compounds, caring for the environment, and showing up for their community—without needing applause.
This isn’t your ordinary secondary school in Kenya.
This is St. Joseph Girls—where faith meets action.
Rooted in Faith. Driven by Love.
The school is run by the Catholic Sisters of St. Joseph of Archdiocese of Mombasa and their philosophy is simple but profound: Love God, love your neighbor. The girls learn that community service isn’t about charity—it’s about solidarity. It’s about seeing a need and saying, “Let’s fix that—together.”
So, while others teach theory, St. Joseph Girls teaches compassion with boots on the ground.
Real Projects. Real People. Real Impact.
This past term alone, Form 2, 3 and 4 students:
- Led a clean-up drive across the school compound and nearby public spaces, promoting hygiene and responsibility.
- Launched a tree-planting campaign within the school compound and surrounding areas to restore the environment and fight climate change.
Ask anyone in Maungu and they’ll tell you: these girls are not just students—they are servant leaders in the making.
