Fragen an Steve Onyang, den Schulleiter vor Ort

What does the support of the 'nafasi sawa Kinderstiftung' mean to you and the community?

The 'nafasi sawa Kinderstiftung' support is very important to me as
the Director of the school. Before the coming of support by the 'nafasi
sawa Kinderstiftung', our school acted as a feeder school to other
schools. Our children used to study in our school up to Primary Class
3, then they were forced to leave for other schools since we did
not have classroom for Primary Class 4. At the end of the year 2017
our children who had reached Primary Class 3 had to leave for other
schools where they could continue with Primary Class 4. Out of the 18
children who left for other schools, we can only account for three
children who are still in school. The rest most likely dropped out of
school. The support by nafasi sawa Kinderstiftung will enable all our
children to complete their Primary Schooling under our supervision which is
our vision for the school.

What do you have to organize before the new school class can start?
We ought to organize before the beginning of the new school year on
6th January 2020, to finish the building (painting, fixing window
glasses, putting electricity), we need to organize for school desks
and tables for the class four children. We shall also need to organize
for school uniforms and we intend to buy our upper Primary
School children long trousers for boys and long sleeved blouses for
girls and long sleeved shirts for boys and long tie. This will bring a
little difference on our children in lower Primary and upper Primary.
We shall need one more teacher, one cook and one additional
sweeper/cleaner. We shall also need new text books for Primary Class
four, exercise books, pens and other office stationery. We shall also
need to buy foodstuffs for the new school year.

“We are very happy to continue learning at our
beloved school till the end of our Primary Schooling.

Thank you nafasi sawa Kinderstiftung”
