Green Olive trustees were made aware of the dire predicament of a primary school in Kakamega that had become so dilapidated that it was at risk of being closed down by the authorities.
The headteacher and governors reached out to Green Olive Trust trustees through Quaker links, and sought help to save the primary school.
Green Olive trustees successfully applied for a grant from the charity Kitchen Table to partially rebuild and refurbish the school. You can see how the project progressed in the photos below.
In 2019 the primary school was at risk of being closed by government inspectors because of the dilapidated state of the school buildings.
Green Olive UK trustees applied for a grant from the Kitchen Table Trust which generously agreed to fund the partial rebuild and renovation.
Once the funding was secured, the rebuilding work started very quickly.
Six new classrooms and new toilet facilities were constructed on the school site.
The six new classrooms were opened just before the Covid-19 lockdown. The school was renamed the Musingu Quakers Education Centre.
The much needed new toilet block was completed just before the school reopened, providing greatly upgraded sanitary facilities for the children.
The children are now benefitting from learning in the newly built classrooms.
The children, staff and parents are all pleased with the new facilities. The school is proving so successful that there is now a waiting list for new admissions.
The teaching staff are also very pleased with the outcome of the refurbishment project.
Watch the YouTube video showing many of the school children and some of the staff and governors. You can see for yourself how happy they are with the newly refurbished school buildings.
