History
Waridi School was founded in 1965 by the Catholic Sisters of OUR LADY OF CHARITY whose charism is to show God’s Mercy and Compassion to persons living in vulnerable situations in the footstep of our founder St.John Eudes.
Waridi School operates under the Edelvale Trust acquired as a non- profitable institution, and the funds from fees paid cater for the Edelvale Trust charitable projects among them; Jamaa Home Out-reach Program that caters for young mothers and The Edelvale Home that caters for young girls from poor back grounds and those rehabilitated from the extreme effects of the social malfunctions.
