We have a school for 300 poor children in deprived urban Mombasa providing quality education and a feeding programme. Thanks to your generousity last year we managed to complete the school building. We still need additional resources and funds to continue our feeding programme.

Situation
Primary School has been free in Kenya since 2003 but no new schools were built and no additional teachers were employed. As a result children are in very badly resourced classes of 80 to 120. They cannot attend school if they do not have shoes, uniform, stationery, textbooks and are unable to pay for afternoon tuition.The quality of education is very poor and many are hungry. Those who can afford it send their children to private schools but many of these have unqualified teachers.
Solution
We have a school for 300 poor children in classes of 25 - 30 with a feeding programme. We provide quality education with excellent academic results. We have just completed construction of our own building after 11 years. We need to continue with the feeding programme which is for many the only food they receive each day. With additional resources we shall be able improve the quality of the education even further.
