Summary

This project will build boys' hostels at Got Matar Institute of Technology in Rural Kenya. Our boys are harassed emotionally and physically since they cannot clear rental hostels charges in time this has resulted to some of them dropping out of school. Access to clean water and electricity is also a challenge as boys are ever worried during dry season. They are majorly forced to go to nearby water sources which are five kilometers away or buy from water vendors at a higher price.

Challenge

Our boys are harassed emotionally and physically since they cannot clear rental hostels charges in time this has resulted to some of them dropping out of school. Access to clean water and electricity is also a challenge as boys are ever worried during dry season. They are majorly forced to go to nearby water sources which are five kilometers away or alternatively buy from water vendors at a higher price. Commuters trek and other cycle for long distances hence the boys are always tired in class.

Solution

This project will make it easier to boys to attend as full-time students, set them free from emotional and physical harassment by hostel owners outside the school compound. They will get access to clean water and electricity within the school compound. They will also not miss classes because they cannot afford transport to school regularly. Those who were forced into hard labor after the evening classes in bid to support in fending for their families will now find time for studies .

Long-Term Impact

Got Matar Institute of Technology (IoT) offer opportunities for young people to learn practical skills that are in demand as Kenya's economy develop. The students who have acquired practical skills in craftmanship areas covered by Got Matar Institute of Technology should be able to be self-reliant by being job creators rather than job seekers.
