Projects in Nairobi

A member from Kenya Aid Programme has just returned from a visit to our projects in Nairobi.

Meetings took place with the headmasters as to what else would aid them. Uniform for the children, particularly at the Junior School was urgently requested. Due to the kindness of schools in England we will be able to fulfil this requirement as we have received numerous donations of surplus school uniform. A few samples of the uniforms were taken to the Junior School on this visit. We hope to deliver the remainder of the uniform in our next container. Pencils, pens and paper were also supplied to the children for them to reply to letters sent to them from a school here in England. We hope for the correspondence between the children to continue.

On a previous visit the Secondary School received uniform and classroom furniture, but also requested a printer. The printer was brought for the School; the Headmaster Cylus was very pleased. This means that the children can now have exam papers printed off instead of having to read them from the blackboard. This makes life a lot easier for both teachers and pupils. Extra school skirts were also taken for some of the girls who were unable to have skirts from the previous donation due to fit.

A container with more classroom furniture has now arrived in Nairobi and awaits unloading
