Summary

An extensive project to rebuild a dilapidated primary school in rural Kenya to benefit over 550 children - construction of classrooms, nursery school, fully stocked library and sanitation facilities

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

Here, around 550 exuberant and ambitious children aged from 3-16 learn in shockingly desperate conditions. The tiny mud-walled classrooms - each crammed with well over sixty pupils - are in woeful states of disrepair. With collapsing tin roofs, crumbling floors so pot-holed they have disappeared altogether, and rusted wire mesh windows they are dingy, dangerous and depressing environments, wholly un-conducive to enjoyable and productive learning.

How will this project solve this problem?

We are rebuilding an entirely new school, to include the construction of twelve fully-furnished classrooms, a dedicated nursery school, a fully-stocked library, offices and a staffroom, rainwater harvesting capabilities, modern kitchen and sanitation

Potential Long Term Impact

This project will have a tangible, immediate and lasting benefit for the hundreds of children at the school now as well as for hundreds more in the future.

Project Message

There are major problems in Kisimenyi. The classes have "dancing roofs", some classes have up to 60 children. We need help.
- Mr Amon, Headmast of Kisimenyi Schhol
