      These missionary schools were opened with the aim of converting the former slaves/ the slaves that were "liberated". With the hope of being free and similar to their former slavers, the people in Mombasa decided to join the schools. It can be assumed that they joined because they wanted to be "modern" like missionaries.

  • Christian missions were organized efforts to spread the Christian faith for the purpose of extending religious teaching at home or abroad. Their coming of Christian missionaries to East Africa and Africa in general was based on a number of motives which were humanitarian, economic, political and social in nature. The Portuguese were the first to introduce Christianity to the east African coast in the 15th c. this attempt however had little success. By the 19th century, a number of missionary groups worked in East Africa and these included; The Church Missionary Society The Holy Ghost Fathers
  • Reasons for the coming of Christian missionaries in East Africa The missionaries had the ambition to spread Christianity to the people of East Africa. This would be through preaching and teaching the holy gospel so that many would get converted to Christianity. They wanted to fight against slave trade in East Africa. Earlier travelers like John Speke and James Grant, H.M. Stanley, Dr. David Livingstone and others had reported about the evils of slave trade in East Africa. They wanted to check on the spread of Islam in East Africa from the coast with intentions of converting many to Christianity. Some missionaries came because they had been invited by certain African chiefs, For example, Mutesa I of Buganda wrote a letter through H.M Stanley inviting missionaries to Buganda. They came to establish legitimate trade in East Africa. They, for instance wanted to trade in items like glass, cloths, etc. as Dr. Livingstone told Cambridge University students, “I go back to Africa to make an open pass f

      The Westerners manipulated the slaves with the word of God into forgiving them and working with them.
  • It was their desire to co-operate with Her Majesty's Government in the suppression of the East African Slave Trade by assisting in the disposal of the liberated slaves, and they intimated their readiness to receive from the Government and maintain and educate any number of such slaves,

      The missionaries traveled to the East of Africa and settled in Mombasa with the intention of ending the slave trade that they initiated. The Westerners sent missionaries who preached the word of God to convert the slaves after "saving/liberating them".

      Dr Kirk was the first Westerner to arrive in East Africa, when he got there he familiarized himself with the community and would send out letters to his country to inform them of what the conditions were. the letters contributed to the slavery and slave trade of the natives in the area. After a while the Westerners thought that slavery and the slave trade were wrong so they decided to liberate the slaves with Dr Kirk's assistance as he opened a Christian school. He worked as a Christian missionary.

      Schools were introduced by the Christian missionaries and even if their intentions were not to benefit the "liberated" slaves, they ended benefiting useful and empowering information as the centuries went by.
  • While much has been written on the influence of both the Christian missionary societies and the colonial authorities on the development of education in Kenya, less attention has focused upon the African reaction. A common interpretation of this reaction is that while African communities may have been initially suspicious, they soon recognised the importance of education and embraced it enthusiastically.

      After being enslaved and traded, the East Africans were not willing to fully trust the westerners. The missionaries were able to achieve their main goal of converting Africans into Christians and in order to do that they had to start with the young ones hence schools were built.
