Schoolproject Kenya

primary school in Eldoret (Kenya)

In addition to building up the school with sustainable resources, the intention is to also create a garten to provide the students with fresh food from their own garden.

Together with the director of the Sower Eductation primary school, we are working on the construction of a primary school in Eldoret ( Kenya). Ester and her team take in approximately 350 primary school-age children to give the accomodation and food, as well as the apportunity to receive an education.

Recently, the lease of the plot of land on which the school is locaated was terminated and Ester started looking for another piece of land to set up a new school. Originally in 2007 there were only 4 children being taught under a tree. Thanks to the efforts of the group around Esther, the number had grown to a group of 350 students, mostly from the slums and fro more remote places.

From Beveren, we try to help to prepare the new part for education in the first instance with the construction of latrines and the drilling of a water well. The classrooms themselves are made with corrugated sheets and are therefore not really durable and weather and wind resistant. The reason that relatively simple materials are used are the finances and the uncertainty about the piece of land that is currently being worked on. A new lease of 5 years has been concluded, but it is also mainly the intention that the plot of land can be purchased so that a long-term solution can be built up. We make a warm appeal to also support and help us to build a beautiful project for the less fortunate in Eldoret.
