We now have two teachers – Fatuma Maulida and Milca Ogweno. Milca is currently trained at nursery level – and will work with our younger children. By helping Milca to train we help in a small way to improve the skills of Kenya’s teachers. This also . . . → Read More: College training for our staff  As well as the new classroom, we’ve built two extra latrines for the extra children. The busy road nearby has always been a worry for parents, so we’ve fenced off the area around the school to make it safer and more secure. Rural areas of Kenya can suffer from water shortages outside the rainy season. We are now . . . → Read More: Upgrading school facilities  An extra 45 children living around Neema Nguuni can now start school thanks to the efforts of our fantastic sponsors. We’ve employed another teacher and built a new classroom, so a total of 90 children are getting a great start in life.

Well, that’s what the Trustees think of our magnificent eight: Fran, Aimee, Louise, Steve, Alan, Hannah, Anna & Suzanne. Fit and healthy and blister free but this is the start.

February 2011 We’re putting your money to good use and we’re controlling the use of every penny… We can’t and won’t fall into the trap of doing things in haste, only to repent at leisure! But that does not stop us from getting things done. Here’s some of our latest news… We have been busy and these are just some of . . . → Read More: Latest from the village – before and after Water, water is not everywhere but clean, potable water is piped at last to the village. It was a priority and it has been achieved much earlier than we expected…thanks to the Community Spirit in the village. Now there is a definite benefit to health and well-being.

She downloaded information and photos, made a presentation, searched her home and begged goods from friends and headed . . . → Read More: Aged 13 and Maggie is a star!
