Problem Statement

Samburu County's harsh semi-arid climate and limited resources severely impact Nakwamor Primary School. Poor sanitation, lack of food preparation infrastructure, and unreliable water supply hinder student attendance and health.

The project will construct toilets and a kitchen, renovate the borehole, provide teacher stipends, and conduct land surveys. It utilizes local materials to ensure cost-effectiveness and community engagement.

Expected Impact

Outcomes include a healthier learning environment, reduced absenteeism due to illness, improved student nutrition, and enhanced quality of education through retained teaching staff.

Upon completion, the project will be fully handed over to the Samburu County Government for ongoing management, including staffing and funding, ensuring institutional sustainability.
