What is different about running a school in Marsabit
Marsabit is one of the largest counties in Kenya and one of the least densely populated. The distance between a school and the homestead it serves can be measured in hours, and many households move with livestock rather than staying at a fixed address.
That makes almost every conventional assumption about school and parent contact wrong. There is no coming in for a meeting. There is no letter home. There is a phone number, which may or may not be answered today, and the school has to make that be enough.
A relationship conducted entirely by phone
Balances, receipts, results and attendance all reach a parent by SMS or through the portal, carrying that family’s own figures rather than a general notice. Payment happens from the same phone. Nothing requires a journey.
Household income comes from livestock, which means it arrives when animals are sold and stops entirely in a drought. Arrangements are therefore recorded per family with real dates, and the school is told when one is genuinely broken rather than chasing everyone who owes.
Boarding is the norm across much of the county, and the stores, catering and procurement side is configured with you during setup.

Questions from Marsabit schools
Does everything work without a smartphone?
Yes. Parents can receive their own fee balance, attendance information and payment confirmations by SMS on a basic phone, and can pay by M-Pesa. A smartphone gives them more, but nothing essential depends on one.
Can fee expectations be adjusted when a family genuinely cannot pay?
Yes. Waivers and bursaries are proper records rather than a balance somebody was told to ignore, and payment arrangements can be recorded per family with their own dates and amounts.
Does Enaton work for a boarding school in a remote area?
Yes. Boarding schools use the same fee structures and clearance rules as day schools, with stores, catering and procurement configured alongside during setup.
