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.

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.

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.

The missionaries that were sent to East Africa failed to covert some if not most of the indigenous people.

The Westerners manipulated the slaves with the word of God into forgiving them and working with them.

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".
