Improving education facilities at Kiptulwo primary school (Rift Valley Kenya)
School built ofcorrugated iron which is now rusty and leaking.
Poor classrooms mean chilly and humid conditions resulting in an Absenteeism rate of about 40%
Jigger infestations due to exposure to earth flooring and only one pit latrine for 624 students create additional problems
This difficult learning environment inhibits passing national exams, limiting chances of joining national secondary schools and eventually university education
DESIRED OUTCOMES
1. Make schooling fun/enjoyable for children as it is in other communities. Children should look forward to school and seek excuses to stay at home
2. Motivation to stay in school, hence improved overall performance & access to higher education.
3. Improved teacher facilities ie staff room, tables, etc.
4. Quality health for the young bodies and minds; reduced jigger infestations and health complications from the local chilly weather.
Since 2021 limited progress has been made resulting in improved classroom structures saving generations of children by giving them a fair chance at education and life
