Buid School for 80 Students in Arid Kachuru Kenya
By Lucy Mathenge | Project Assistant
The 1st term 2019 in Kachiuru primary have started well with pupils, parents and teachers excited for the newly constructed classroom which will improve learning environment for the pupils. The school has also enrolled more new pupils in the school which is very positive and a sign that the school is growing. Kachiuru had 14 candidates 9 girls and 5 boys who sat for their final national exams in November 2018 and girls performed better than boys. Although the performance was not the best, all the candidates have joined various secondary schools in Meru and Isiolo counties we congratulate them for their efforts. The school has started well this term and the community is positive that the performance will improve this year with an additional classroom and more teaching and learning materials. They are also happy because the feeding program will continue this year and the partnership supporting the initiative has upgraded and since the beginning of this term pupils have started having a cup of porridge at 10:00 am which is like a breakfast to many children who have not been having breakfast at home. The pupils are very excited and they are happy as they enjoy a cup of porridge. We take this opportunity to thank our partners for the continued support. As earlier reported, the school is in need of classroom desks for the pupils in the new classroom as currently pupils are sharing the available desks in the school where they are squeezing themselves to gat space for all. To solve this problem, the school requires more desks to give enough sitting and writing space for the learners. To accomplish this, we request our friends, donors and partners to consider contributing towards this so that we can improve the learning environment for our learners. We sincerely thank our partners for their support in constructing the classroom. Thank you to all well-wishers who have been supporting this school and we still request for more support.

Build School for 80 Students in arid Kachuru Kenya

All is well in Kachiuru and they have had a good short 3rd term. They have closed school for long December holiday and the candidates are ready to sit for their final national exams starting 2nd November and we wish them all the best. The pupils continued working in their school garden after their August holiday although the area has been a bit dry. They have been irrigating their school garden at least to ensure they had vegetables for their school feeding program throughout the time. We are also happy to report that one of our partners has extended his support on school feeding program to accommodate porridge for the pupils as their breakfast. This will be an important initiative as many children have been attending school without breakfast and they had to wait until lunch to get something to eat. We sincerely thank our partners and we really appreciate every support given to our communities. As earlier reported we were planning to construct an additional classroom in Kachiuru and am happy to report that we successfully constructed a nice classroom to accommodate more pupils and to improve learning environment again thank you to our partners for this initiative. The classroom will be in operational in January 2019 but we don’t have enough desks for the pupils and we request our well wishers and partners to consider contributing for the school furniture to ensure that in January the pupils will have good learning environment with the necessary learning materials and furniture. We thank all our partners, friends and well-wishers for their generosity and we are happy to see the good face of Kachiuru and appreciate where we started and where we are now. The school has really developed and we hope we will achieve even more.

Build School for 80 Students in Arid Kachuru Kenya
By Lucy Mathenge | Project Assistant
Kachiuru primary school has now closed school for August holiday, they have had a successful term and they are very happy for the support they have received from different players. The pupils were excited to have vegetables from their school garden where they enjoyed working on the garden and harvesting crops and they had them in their lunch program. The parents were also excited and they had the opportunity to learn modern farming techniques by using locally available materials like old sacks and buckets. The garden is still good although it has been dry but they have been practicing simple irrigation skills to maintain the garden. We were not able to start constructing the new classroom as earlier reported as there were some challenges which delayed the construction process. Construction work will commence soon as we want to take advantage of the August holiday to ensure that the work will not affect the learning program and on the other hand pupils will not play with the construction materials. We are grateful for this support given to Kachiuru School as this classroom will accommodate many pupils and ensure conducive learning environment. We are still appealing for more support from our well-wishers and partners to furnish the classroom once it is finished. We appreciate all the support given towards this project and invite others to consider supporting our communities. We wish the pupils and teachers a nice August holiday and we hope to have a new classroom for them in September 2018.
