Educational support

By James Oyugi | Founder

Introduction:

The James Were Foundation has been instrumental in supporting education within the Nyalenda slums which is an informal settlement within Kisumu ciunty Kenya.

Impact of prolonged Rainfall and Flooding:

We experienced a lot of rainfall which I tethered with school opening. It led to severe flooding in Kisumu county, particularly affecting Nyalenda slums. The floods caused significant destruction of property,houses,schools and farm produce,disrupting the lives of many residents.

Flood relief Efforts by James were foundation

In response to the flooding the James Were Foundation took immediate action to mitigate the effects of the disaster.The Foundation provided essential relief supplies including food,medicine and mosquito nets to the affected families. These efforts were crucial in supporting the community during this challenging times.

Delay in School Opening

Due to the flooding, the re opening of schools in Kisumu and the entire country in Flood prone areas delayed by two weeks. Normalcy returned and schools resumed on May 13th 2024 allowing students to continue their education and the teachers had to put a spirited effort to recover time lost.

Educational support

the James Were Foundation has ensured that the students it sponsors could return to their studies without financial burdens. The foundation paid school fees for these needy students who are enrolled in various high schools there by alleviating their financial challenges and enabling them to focus on their education.
