STAGES IN THE BUILDING OF THE KOKURO SCHOOL

- Sand dam,for guaranteeing the water supply.

- Well,  for the school’s everyday use.

- Fence, for keeping out animals and guaranteeing the children’s safety. 

- Building of the school in 2 stages,one involving 3 classrooms that will be carried out by the Kenyan government, which will provide the teaching staff, and the other involving a range of funds, amongst which are those provided by “Project VITALA” , and which will consist of 4 classrooms, 2 dormitories for boys and girls, a dining-room, storeroom and staff room.

THE PROGRESS SO FAR:

Sand Dam

Financed by the Regional Government of Extremadura in Spain, the little reservoir for the school has already been built.

In the background behind the reservoir, you can see part of the school being built by the Kenyan government.
 

The government started building the school in 2007, but the work came to a halt, as can be seen in this photo taken in December 2008. Only these walls had been built, along with two latrines for boys and two for girls.

Building restarted in May 2009 and this is its present state with work proceeding normally.

The photo shows the route of the fence that will start being erected shortly with “Project VITALA” funds, together with the well (the opportunity will be taken to drill 7 wells in the area to spread the cost of bringing in machinery from Nairobi).
