The Grow a Classroom Initiative is at the heart of the Architectural Association of Kenya and we had the privilege of kicking off the #AAKAnnualConvention2026 with growing Mabokoni Primary School, Diani. The primary school students participated in an art competition, showcasing what they would wish to have as a dream school. And what's better than incorporating what the beneficiaries of the school would want? The AAK Grow A Classroom Initiative aims at supporting schools to create sustainable and healthy schools and mentoring pupils on the professionals of the built environment from a young age, something most Africans learn out of school!
