Build a Kitchen and a Dining Hall for 200 students

Jambo from Ikirwa,

We’ve had a wonderful year and hope that you have as well.  Our students continue to thrive at school and we have you to thank for that. Academically, our classrooms are filled with inquisitive and engaged students who love to learn about the world and continue to impress us with their questions and enthusiasm for learning.  

Throughout the springtime we were able to make wonderful progress on our Dining Facility. We have the foundation for the entire first floor poured and all of the walls are almost up!  To say we are thrilled would be an understatement. The children are amazed at the progress, as well, and love it when the men working allow them to help dispense of the additional dirt by helping to guide the wheelbarrows across campus. It sounds silly, but taking ownership in the change in their dining hall allows the students to feel invested in its progress. We like to refer back to the phrase, “It takes a village..” when we think of the work going into the new dining facility, because without the continued contributions from donors like you and the support and hard work provided from the local members of our community this endeavour would continue to be just a dream. 

As the year continues and every stone is put in place we become more confident in the knowledge that our children will continue to have the opportunity to eat their meals in a place free of dirt and dust and one in which they will be dry during the rainy season. We are sure that everyone can look back on their time at school and remember the joy in sharing stories and spending time with classmates in the cafeteria.  Our students are no different. Please continue to help our dreams of a new facility come true by supporting our GlobalGiving Dining Hall campaign.  

Continue to stay safe and healthy 

All the best,

Rose Hogan
