Quality Education in Remote Kenyan Primary Schools

Greetings from So They Can in Kenya.

First and foremost, thank you for your generous support of So They Can's work in Baringo! Every year Quarter 4 is when we prioritise the construction of critical school infrastructure. Through our School Improvement project we ensure that schools have adequate infrastructure (especially classrooms, toilets and water), and that all facilities are safe and inclusive.

From October to December 2024 we achieved a lot. We are very pleased to share the significant scope of our school infrastructure work across our 10 partner Government primary schools, which your donation was used towards. Thank you.
