Secondary School

Just four years have passed since I first called on friends and relations for help in raising funds to enable the Got Matar Community Development Group to build a new 600-place secondary school in Western Kenya. The combination of a generous response to this appeal and of hard and diligent work by both the Community and the local authorities has worked very well. The basic school infrastructure is in place. This month the first pupils, enrolled in January 2007, are taking their final school certificate exams. We hope that they will do well!

To have reached this point so quickly is an amazing achievement. I still find it hard to get to grips with the thought that this partnership between the Community and donors, has already enabled almost 600 children to attend secondary school, and that we can look forward to 150 new children coming on board every year in future. This will bring huge benefits to a rural community in which, until now, few children could continue their education after finishing primary school.
