We want to say thank you to all our supporters
Hundreds of people have given of their time and money to support this important work and we are extremely grateful to you all. We do not have space to name individuals but we would like to mention several organisations who have generously supported the academy. Some over many years. If you think we have overlooked someone.. let us know.
Torquay Girls’ Grammar School have supported Imprezza since its inception 21 years ago! They have raised and continue to raise many thousands of pounds for the benefit of many hundreds of poor and destitute children across Western Kenya.

In 2025 the school started a new house and have named it ‘Omanyo’ in recognition of the strong link between Imprezza Academy in Kenya and TGGS in Devon.
