Building a School in South Sudan: an evening to learn about Kinyeti Academy

​After losing his parents to the world’s longest civil war in Sudan, Lorem Aminathia spent 8 years of his childhood in a refugee camp in Kenya. Raised a group of older boys, he launched an astonishing journey to Yale College, culminating in his selection for the first cohort of Schwarzman Scholars at Tsinghua University in China.

​Returning to the world’s newest independent country, South Sudan, Lorem recognized that his nation’s lack of an education system was not only an obstacle to progress, but also an exceptional development challenge in its own right.

​Come meet Lorem if you have an interest in education challenges and social entrepreneurship in regions torn by histories of conflict and insecurity. You will meet someone who calls his own education a miracle and also says that a million other school children in South Sudan cannot depend on such miracles. Lorem will also describe his evolving model for Kinyeti Academy, whose launch in 2023 will point the way to a different future.

​Following the talk, we will have light refreshments and beverages, the opportunity to meet Lorem and learn how you might volunteer with or otherwise support Kinyeti Academy.

​The event is being graciously hosted at Fika Ventures office. Registered guests will receive further instructions to enter the building.

​If you can't make the event, you can still support Kinyeti by making a donation here.
