An on-going programme to ensure a cluster of primary schools in an isolated corner of rural Kenya are equipped with the capacity to deliver an education worth having and to ensure the long and tiring walk to school for thousands of disadvantaged children is a worthwhile one.

    Situation

    Primary education has been free in Kenya since 2003. However the reality of a government funded education for 6 million pupils across 25,000+ primary schools is that limited financial resources are spread very thinly when faced with the demands of employing sufficient teachers, providing adequate resources and investing in infrastructure. The introduction of free primary education set Kenya on the way to achieving universal primary education. We exist to make it an education worth having.

    Solution

    We rebuild, extend and upgrade existing government schools and then establish long-term partnerships with them that deliver on-going support in areas where it is needed most including the provision of a daily lunch to all pupils, funding for much-needed additional teachers, and the ad-hoc supply of books and other educational resources and equipment. We currently support a network of eight government primary schools in the isolated Kasigau community in south-east Kenya.
