The Daystar Nursing School was the only nursing program open in all of Kenya during the Covid shutdown! There are now close to 300 future nurses in the program, including an amazing increase of 158 new students for this current year! All of last year’s graduates were able to receive immediate internships and are vital in hospitals throughout Kenya. They are bringing hope to so many struggling in hospitals during the pandemic.

President Laban has shared that Daystar predicts another larger class in the next semester. Daystar is in dire need of facilities to educate so many future Christ-centered leaders serving in hospitals. The university has plans to expand the Nursing School to accommodate the growth. The first step is to procure and ship equipment to arrive as soon as possible for new student labs. The total cost for this is $125,000. Of this amount, $75,000 has already been committed. There is an immediate need for the remaining $50,000. Update: We have reached our goal and we will share an update soon!
