Project Report | Aug 2, 2019
Meru North DCC Kenya Update July 2019

By Oliver Kirimi | Meru North DCC Project Manager

I am happy to send this report on our work in Maua and district in Kenya. The objective of the DCC project is to help children with special needs into school.

These efforts to improve the wellbeing of children with special needs in are bearing fruits. Athi special school has completed a new administration block in addition to the recently completed classrooms. The teachers now have a better environment to meet and plan for the children. Due to the improved dormitories, dining hall and classrooms, the number of children in the school has increased by 25% indicating the great need for schools in the community. This translates to more children accessing education as a result of their parents gaining confidence in the schools effort to educate them.

A new security fence has been installed at Irindiro Special Unit. This has greatly improved the security of the learners unlike before where they would wander into the bushes and to the roadside. The number of learners in Irindiro has also increased to 65 from 38 previously. This has prompted the need for new classrooms and facilities to be able to accommodate the increasing number of learners.

Thank you all for your help in assisting us to achieve our goals for these special children!
