This year our project Kirantos Sunshine Primary School will have its 10th anniversary
It all started almost 10 years ago in summer 2016…
…when Sabine, Kathleen and I spent time at the Maasai Mara with our favourite wildlife guide Daniel Kiranto Nabaala. A few weeks earlier, Michael, a colleague of ours had helped Daniel to put up a facebook and a gogetfunding page to raise funds for a school in his home village. The walk to the next school was leading through territory full of dangerous wild animals, like hyena, leopards, elephants, even lions. Therefore the community had started to put money together for a teacher, who taught the smaller kids up until the age of around 10 in the shade of a tree at home.�We decided to help and alerted our friends and family - within a month we built the first classroom.
Fast forward almost 10 years later we have built a primary school one building at a time. A bunch of kids already finished primary school with very good results. We are really proud of having helped achieve this and still keeping the support up as much as needed for this financially poor community.
In the meantime, however, the Kenyan school system has changed and all primary schools have to add secondary school as well. So we are challenged with continuing to build. We now need 2 more classrooms (rather quickly), before we can finally invest in a library. Secondary school means that we also need a laboratory and computer room. So the project has been enhanced a lot again and is stretching us. I am very grateful that Abel from Science Plus Group in The Netherlands has donated a significant amount of money towards the next building. We now need around 5500€ more to be able to start building. Can you help us with a donation? I am convinced that together we will manage to build and equip at least one classroom this year.
❤️Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤️
in the name of our currently 130 students.
Love, Angela
