We were moved by the situation of a local father who produces crops for the school in return for his sons’ education. We learnt that water storage to guarantee the supply of his crops had become an increasing problem. Working with the school, we have since been able to support the completion of an irrigation scheme to benefit both the family and the school.

As of April 2010, virtually the whole of the plot has been planted at intervals to produce a continuous supply.

A team from Kenya Aid Programme visited projects in Nairobi and Eldoret during a visit in December 2009.

The Foundation visited schools in Nairobi, Eldoret, Iten, and Naivasha, and also Eldoret transition camp. A number of sites were also put forward for our water pump project in Eldoret.

Thank you for a warm welcome!

Kenya Aid Programme would like to thank St. Elizabeth School, Lorwa School and Kipkaren School for a warm welcome in Eldoret. In addition, our best wishes go to Arise and Shine Academy in Iten, to Naivasha Highway Primary School, and to Fort Smith Educational Centre and Barnardos orphanage in Nairobi.

We also extend our thanks to Cokethorpe School in Oxfordshire, and to Abbots Bromley Girls School in Staffordshire, on whose behalf we were able to deliver Christmas shoeboxes, books, stationery and school uniforms to children in Kenya.
