BUILD SCHOOL FOR 500 POOR SLUM CHILDREN IN KISUMU

Summary

This project plans to build primary school for tennis talent and education for 500 poor slum and HIV/AIDS orphaned children in Kisumu City-Kenya.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

In adequate learning facilities in slums contribute to low school enrollment and low literacy levels among poor slums dwellers in Kisumu,Kenya. Out of school, girls fall victims to early marriage, rape, risk of having HIV/AIDS while boys get involve in drug abuse, robbery, risk of having HIV/AIDS and other social vices. While expanding learning facilities, tennis talent of slum children shall be nurtured and exposed as they will at the same time exploit their academic potential.

How will this project solve this problem?

We are constructing a new tennis talent and education school to provide adequate facilities for 500 poor slum children to learn and nurture their talent in. The new school will reduce inadequate learning and tennis facilities which shall provide additional resources such as desks and teaching materials to facilitate improved education for poor slum children in Kisumu. Tennis talented players, will get opportunity to earn scholarships in secondary colleges both locally and internationally.

Potential Long Term Impact

The project will enable 500 students every year to access education and tennis training enabling them to tap into their full potential, rise out of poverty and improve living standards for their families.

Project Message

Equipping the youth with education and talent nurturing is to invest in posterity and sustainable community development.
