In preparation for our departure to Kenya we have recently had to choose the schools we would most like to be paired with. Myself and my project partner, Becky, opted for a very, very rural school about two hours from Kisii. The school is called Kerongeta, and has previously received project workers. Under the KEP model all schools are guaranteed an initial two-years of investment at which point their progress is reviewed and more investment is given if required. It will be Kerongeta's second year of KEP investment.
As I learn more about the school's profile, I will post it here. For the time being, all I know is that it is an incredibly poor school which struggles to collect school fees. Past investment saw many great initiatives launched, including: planting trees to increase revenue, organising a library and buying lab equipment. Myself and Becky hope to continue on in this vein, making sure that these initiatives have proved sustainable and identifying new areas where our investment is vital.
