St. Anne’s Girls' High School in Kapkemich, western Kenya was founded in 2007. Fr. Anthony Kiplagat grew up in this small village with no electricity or running water. Far more important to the people of Kapkemich is the education of their children. In an effort to address the needs of young girls in his community, Fr. Anthony assisted in establishing this school. Once the school was established, his dream has been to build a library and other ancillary facilities necessary to augment the education of young people in the area. As we became acquainted with Fr. Anthony and he shared his dream, we formally established Friends of St. Anne's, and have joined him in his efforts to provide an adequate education for the children of this community.Completed Projects: Science Laboratory, Library, Book Drive, 40 foot Shipping Container of School Supplies, Student Dormitory, Connection to National Power Grid, Solar energy, Scholarships.Ongoing Projects: Scholarships.

In 2009 a small group of people came together with the goal of improving conditions at a girls’ school in a tiny village in Kenya. Among them were a successful restaurateur, a lawyer, several teachers and a couple of darn good cooks. This group formed Friends of St. Anne’s Girls’ School, Kapkemich, Kenya (FOSA), provided funds to make many improvements at the school, and invested countless hours to other projects designed to enhance education in the village. The success of FOSA spurred another idea. Why not broaden the scope of the effort to improve education, and establish a source of income for those efforts at the same time? After all, they could only rely on their friends to attend fundraising events and donate cash so many times. The group, although made up of the same people, formed a corporation, and opened Anna’s Oven. The central mission of the investors in this endeavor is to dedicate 50% of all profits to support education in places where otherwise it might not thrive. While some of those funds will be dedicated to finishing projects in Kapkemich, support of local education will also occur. The possibilities of grants and scholarships to improve education in the metro area are endless! Your support of Anna’s Oven will help make that possible.
