The Kokuro School today

The project involves building a primary school with boarding facilities for 250 Kokuro/Turkana children (in addition to schooling, it will provide food and hygiene).

It helps to maintain the nutrition centres (where the children go to eat with their mothers) and it is where they are told how important it is for the children to go to school. Without this, everything else is meaningless.

Children at school

• Grants for polytechnic studies and different practical trades (as required in the area) after primary schooling.
• Maintaining over time what has already been built, as well providing the necessary equipment, books, food, school furnishings, etc.
• Annual allocation to the present Kokuro School of books and other equipment.

In addition…

• Providing for a child in a nutrition rehabilitation centre: €20/month (€240 per year).
• Grant for studies at a polytechnic school: €55/month (€660 per year).
• Support for equipping the current primary school in Kokuro: €200/month (€2,400 per year)

What there is now

• 6 little primary schools (for children aged 7 and over), divided into different huts.
• The schools are nutrition centres, where the children are fed twice a day.
• The uniform is the only clothing the children have at the moment.
• Most of the schools are manyatas (typical Turkana dwelling)
