Kenya: Ngecho primary school

Ngecho primary school has 252 children in attendance, and is situated on the road between Gilgil and Nyharuru in the base of the Rift Valley.

The building of urgently needed classrooms for a rural community.
The school is a run down mixture of old wooden and temporary buildings. The school faces increasing overcrowding issues and the poor facilities are not only detrimental to educational achievement but are potentially dangerous. The objective of this project was to build a new two class block, which will both accommodate the growing amount of pupils attending the school, and replace the temporary class buildings.

Whilst this is a government run primary school, the government pledge only to provide free primary education teachers and very restricted and rarely seen funds are available for even basic facilities, leaving communities in dire need and their children ill-educated.

With the average Kenyan wage of one to two dollars a day, most communities find it difficult to find the funds needed to repair schools and build further facilities which are necessary for a standard learning environment. In this area especially, where agriculture is very difficult due to lack of rainfall, communities must rely on a few cattle to fund an entire family. This makes funding anything other than daily life for a family impossible.

We successfully raised the £5692.30 needed to complete the classrooms so thank you to all the volunteer and contributors. We are proud of a building that now houses and educates the brilliant minds of the children of Ngecho.
