Joyland was founded in 1974 as a rehabilitation center and school by The Salvation Army in Kisumu. Joyland is comprised of two schools: The primary school covers grades 1-8, while the secondary school, which opened in 1994, rounds out the pre-university education. Joyland also offers vocational courses where students are taught life skills including tailoring, making their own uniforms, cooking and farming programs. If young people pass their primary school exam, they can go on to secondary school and then to university. If not, they are channeled into vocational education to learn trade skills that will support them in the future.
