A new year brings a new school and a new promise for Kids4Kenya and African Promise.
In March, work will start work on rebuilding Kisimenyi Primary School - the sixth school - for the immediate benefit of the 550 children it serves now and many hundreds more for years to come.
On a visit to the school early in 2010, at the invitation of the head teacher Amon Mwandoe (the head at Jora at the time of my very first project there in 2006/07), Charles Coldman, the founder of African Promise, was left shocked by what he saw. More recently, passing through the village, a young pupil shouted: "When are you coming to our school?". We have answered the plea of that boy, the school and the wider village community with a promise to help them rebuild their school.
It will be an extensive and ambitious project but one that, with your help, we can make a reality and we are appealing to you and the rest of our community of supporters to help raise $60,000 in 2011 to go towards funding the project, and our work in our original five schools.
