In January 2003, the Teachers College was established. This grew into the ''Saint Clement of Alexandria Orthodox College of Africa'', currently consisting of an education department and a business/information technology department, teaching for minimal cost to break the cycle of depression. Future plans include a nursing and pharmacy school; furthermore, serious negotiations are underway with the University of Thessalonica towards the creation of a Paediatric Medical School within the College. The vision is for an Orthodox University of Africa.
===Sierra Leone===
In January 2008, Fr Themi moved from Kenya to Sierra Leone, where he involved himself in similar activities that he had initiated in Kenya. He built premises for the small missionary team that came with him, including a chapel dedicated to St Eleftherios, and in February 2008, he began a program designed to give food to the hungry. In March, negotiations with the government led to Fr Themi having responsibility for two schools, with a total of 3500 students and 90 staff; and in May, grants were received from two Greek missionary societies, the [[Orthodox Missionary Fraternity]] and the [[Missionary Alliance of St. Cosmas the Aetolian]] - one grant to build infrastructure for one of the schools, and the other to begin construction of a Teachers College. Work began on the Teacher's College before the end of that month.
