Challenge
Children who are not able to attend school virtually end up begging and living on the street - or turning to prostitution (HIV/AIDS), drugs or criime. Their life expectancy is very low - especially if they land in a Kenyan prison. This is a project that is working at the roots of the major problem: poverty out of lack of education.
Challenge
It is a huge challenge to send the children public schools. On the most part, schools are in bad shape and have far too many pupils in a classroom - up to 100 - with only one teacher. Challenged children cannot be helped in this sort of a learning situation and the average or above average pupils have a difficult time concentrating. There is usually no sourse of drinking water and hundreds of children share 2 or 3 latrines. Only children whose parents can pay for meals receive a school meal.
Challenge
A clean kitchen is an absolute MUST at a school where a high standard of food hygiene is so important for the health and welfare of hundreds of children. The Live and Learn in Kenya Education Center in Nakuru, Kenya is building a school, but we are also feeding 180 children 5 days a week and 480 children on Saturdays and during school breaks. We need a permanent kitchen construction as soon as possible to be able to correctly cater to so many children.
