In Kenya, primary school is compulsory for 6 years. There are no school fees. Nevertheless, school is not free. Further school attendance at secondary school or vocational training (if available) or university studies then cost real money. In addition, the boarding school must also be paid for. School books are not available and have to be bought by the students themselves. So you have to be able to afford education. For example, revolving micro-credits for chicken farming have made self-sufficiency and a small regular income possible for 60 families within a year.

But also health education and environmental education are part of our projects, new cultivation methods and recently a training program for fish farming.

The children at NYAMUGA Special School are particularly close to our hearts. The pupils with physical and health disabilities need our support so that they can become independent and fully integrated into the community.

The reorganisation of training courses with a focus on skilled trades at the WAKIAGA Youth Polytechnic opens up attractive career prospects for young people and provides the local economy with urgently needed skilled workers.
