Humble Hearts School, Kenya's first bilingual deaf school using Kenyan Sign Language and English, was started by Beatrice Anunda on 9 September 2003.
Anunda was taught Kenyan Sign Language (in University of Nairobi's KSL Research Project), and came across a nine-year-old deaf child called Melinda in Doonholm.
The school is based in Sinai (Paradise), a large slum by Doonholm, a middle-class suburb of Nairobi. Lately, the school, has been bulldozed "accidentally" by the government. They are now trying to rebuild it,but the government will not give them a compensation fee.
Humble Hearts has a "sister school" in Portland, Oregon USA named Trillium Charter School.
