Learning sessions in Kachiuru primary school have resumed after a long closure as a result of covid 19 pandemic. Pupils and teachers have started the term well and they are working hard to recover the time lost during the pandemic and preparing candidates who will be sitting for their national exams in March 2021 we wish them all the best. The area is very dry at the moment with no pastures for the livestock thus making many parents to migrate in search of greener pastures. Community members are still struggling to put food on the table as it has been the case since the pandemic hit our country in March 2020. We have continued to support the vulnerable families with food and soaps to keep them going and we appreciate the great support given to the community. There is a bit of relief now that pupils are back to school where through our support they benefit on feeding program where they get morning porridge and lunch, again thank you to our partners for supporting the feeding program in the school.
Keeping physical distance in classroom as recommended by the ministry of health is not easy in most schools in Kenya as many have high populations in a single classroom and limited number of desks worsen the situation. In Kachiuru primary it is not any different from other schools and pupils are learning normally but at least with facemasks. At the moment, parents are very low financially and they cannot promise any contribution at the moment to improve the situation. We are happy they have several permanent classrooms in the school and what they urgently need at the moment is additional desks and more learning materials. Due to the high costs of living, parents are not in a position to chip in into this as most economic status have been affected by the pandemic. On behalf of the Kachiuru community I invite and welcome our GlobalGiving friends and partners to help us in improving conducive learning environment for Kachiuru pupils by providing more desks and other learning materials. Support of any kind is highly appreciated and it will definitely make a significant difference. Thank you very much for the continued support, we wish you prosperous New Year with more fruits.
