Sweet Sixteen

You may wonder or even ask yourself many questions once you have heard the noun Sweetsixteen. Well, some of you may think it’s sixteen sweets or even the students are in their sweet sixteen ‘the’ age in brackets. Just to give you a hint and to get you back on track, neither of the above is true!

The word Sweetsixteen originated from the number of boarding girl students, who yearly start their academic year in the Kenia School of Homeopathy. In 2007 the first 16 pioneers started and it has been a trend and a culture of this Institution to sponsor sixteen female students in every academic year to see them through their three years full time studies to become Homeopathic Nurses. So far the number of students has increased to 48 and we’re expecting more in the near future.

The Sweetsixteen come from all Districts of Kenya, this enables interaction of different cultures, beliefs and religions. We also have an inspiring “Mother” Marie, who is also our beloved Director at the Kenia School of Homeopathy. The environment at our College is conducive in terms of learning and housing, as we really feel at home. We have a well ventilated lecturing hall, spacious rooms (hostel) and our own i-net cafe + library. Not  forgetting our ever green vegetable garden, which provides us with the daily needed fresh ‘mbogas’ to supplement our menu with vitamins.

We have our Sweetsixteen Art project, which generates income to achieve our goals. In this project we do various activities such as drawing and painting, knitting, jewelry, weaving, pottery, making videos and pictures, composing poems and songs and some other decorations of clothes. In short, it’s an all weathered Institution, whereby we also learn health life skills e.g. Driving, swimming, biking and First Aid etc.

Please partner with us and help us to realize our dreams…..
