Summary
ofthe main
achievements
ofthe
during the year
charity Due to the Covid pandemic
the Kenyan government
mandated
that
schools should
be closed for much ofthe year. Grade 4 pupils returned
late Autumn,
with
all others returning
in January 2021.
in
Throughout
the period when the school was closed we continued
to
pay
our teachers and provide lessons to our pupils
in small groups
in the
community,
but not in the school buildings.
This allowed
us to maintain
engagement
with our school community,
keeping the children
involved
in education
and supporting
the people
involved
in caring for the children. This also provided
the opportunity
to
distribute
much needed food and provide
instruction
on good hygiene
to
protect against
virus transmission.
Emergency
funds were issued to help prepare the school to be compliant
with the Kenyan
Ministry of Education
requirements
for Covid mitigation
when the school reopened.
Further investments
were made
in maintaining
and repairing
our
infrastructure,
including
building
additional
toilet blocks.
We were also able to facilitate Samwel
Manda,
our key stakeholder
in
Kenya, moving
to the Nyiera area in order to provide more effective
mana
