IcFEM Holiday Club Season 1 – 2026
From 7th to 10th April 2026, IcFEM was blessed to host over 500 children at the DEC School for four incredible days filled with faith, fun, friendship, and fantastic talents.
Under the theme “Little People, Big Things” (Philippians 4:13), the children engaged in a variety of impactful and exciting activities including: Bible stories and memory verses, creative crafts, fun cookery, music and dance, making new friends, great adventures, games, sports competitions, and a vibrant Grand Talent Show on the final day.
During this special time, we were able to share the love of God with the children, nurturing their faith and contributing to changed lives for Christ. We also enjoyed delicious meals together, creating moments of joy, connection, and community.
This successful program was made possible through partnership with Lymm Baptist Church, UK, whose team of 17 joined hands with IcFEM’s DEC School staff to serve and facilitate throughout the holiday club.
We thank God for every child who attended, every volunteer who served, and every partner who contributed to making Season 1 of 2026 truly impactful and unforgettable.

About Us
IcFEM Dreamland Education Centre (DEC) is a primary school founded by IcFEM Mission with a commitment to providing children in Kimilili with the opportunity to thrive academically, socially, and spiritually. The school offers a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment where children are encouraged to learn, play, and grow into confident, disciplined, and responsible individuals.
Established in 2001, DEC has continued to grow in both facilities and impact. In 2021, a purpose-built dormitory was completed to support learners who require boarding services. The school currently serves approximately 200 pupils, with about 100 children enrolled in the boarding program. DEC is located about 3 kilometres outside Kimilili town, on the same compound as Dreamland Mission Hospital, providing a secure and well-supported learning environment. A school bus is available to transport day scholars safely to and from school.
As a faith-based institution under IcFEM Mission, Dreamland Education Centre integrates quality early childhood and primary education with Christian teachings, nurturing Christ-like values that build strong character, discipline, and a sense of purpose from an early age. The school places equal emphasis on academic excellence and moral development, ensuring learners are well prepared for life and leadership.
DEC is consistently ranked among the top five primary schools in the county, reflecting its strong academic performance and commitment to excellence. This achievement opens doors for learners to progress to secondary education and, ultimately, to college or university—opportunities that remain a distant dream for many children in rural Kenya, but a growing reality at Dreamland Education Centre.
