About the book
Jonathan Starr's book, It Takes a School, tells the true story of how a wealthy American hedge fund manager left his job on Wall Street to build a school in Somaliland, a very poor and unstable part of the world. Even though he faced many problems like local distrust, security risks, and cultural barriers, he refused to give up. The book focuses on the amazing journey of building the Abaarso School and highlights the incredible students who worked hard against all odds to change their lives through education.
