[2] Anunda was taught Kenyan Sign Language in the University of Nairobi's KSL Research Project, and came across a nine-year-old deaf child called Melinda in Doonholm.

Anunda decided to start a project to reach out to deaf children who could not access schooling.

[3] In 2005, the project had developed into a school for 30 students in a room of 100 square feet (9.3 m2), constructed of steel roofing sheets.

[3] The school is based in Sinai (Paradise), a large slum by Doonholm, a middle-class suburb of Nairobi.

[7][3] In 2016, work continued towards improving the school building for 300 students including 125 boarders.
