Njambi was inspired to start a quality high school for bright girls from poor backgrounds following a conversation with Geoffrey Griffin, the founder of Starehe Boys’ Centre.
Griffin had already been entertaining the thought over the years and was reserving part of the donations just in case.
Njambi approached a number of successful women including respected educationist Eddah Gachukia.
Once the then Education Minister George Saitoti committed to provide teachers for the school, many people and institutions joined in after that including foreign embassies and the Starehe Boys' alumni.
Starehe Girls' Centre was born and is 100% free with the government providing the teachers and the donors paying the support staff.
