Project Report | Sep 22, 2014
25 Partner Schools and Counting

By Turk Pipkin | Project Leader

Thanks to the great support from all directions, The Nobelity Project has been able to expand our Kenyan School partnerships to 25+ schools. A quick round-up of some 2014 construction projects include 7 new free-standing preschools at Konyit Primary, Kiguru Primary, Laburra Primary, Mugaka Primary, Bondeni Primary, and also at Amboni and remote Daaba Primary - the final two being under construction now.

In July, we also inspected newly finished classrooms and large classroom blocks at Konyit Primary, Kamiruri Primary, Laburra Secondary and more.

While the goal of these reports is generally to focus on one or two inspiring personal stories, it's also important to remember the scale of our school partnership work, which has extended to schools with over 10,000 students taking advantage of new classrooms, science labs, libraries and clean water systems funded through The Nobelity Project's Kenya Schools Fund.

Our most ambitious single project this year is the ground-up rebuilding of Konyit Primary, a massive infrastructure project that is well over 50% complete. When finished in early 2015, the new facilities at Konyit will include a 3-grade preschool, 8 modern primary classes, a new kitchen and purified rainwater collection system, and the remodeling of five older classrooms into a dining hall, office, computer lab and public library.

Thanks for your help in our work towards Eduction or All. We couldn't do it without you. And congratulations to one of our first Mahiga Hope High Graduates, George Abrahams, who is now a full-time student in the Journalism Department at United States International University in Nairobi, and a stand-out player on the University's great basketball team. Keep up the great work George!
