At Canopy Life, our vision is to build up godly entrepreneurs who pioneer creative solutions for Kenya and serve others with their power, resources, and ideas. Whether or not our students attend college, they will have the skills to cultivate an idea to market, start a healthy business, and lead with integrity. We are doing this every day at Canopy Life by building exceptional leaders who follow Christ, think differently, and live on purpose.
For people who have never been to Kenya or visited a typical Kenyan private school, it’s hard to describe just how different Canopy Life is from the rest. We do what we do because if Kenya is going to get a different kind of leader, it NEEDS our different kind of school.

We also long for our home environments to reflect the place of worth and belonging we have created for them. Here’s ideas of the types of spaces we want to create:
