Project Report | Jul 3, 2017
The Virtues Project is Growing in Kenya

Water Tank for Mwiyenga Primary School

Thanks to your generosity and understanding, Mwiyenga Primary School has water, THE VIRTUES PROJECT is thriving there, and they are leading the way for virtues to happen in other schools! 

Mwiyenga Primary School is at the 78% mark in Kakamega County Kenya, according to the latest ranking of child friendly, performance, and infrastructure in schools.   Kudos to VIRTUES that they have made Mwiyenga outshine so many schools both public and private!  "We are indeed humbled that virtues are transforming lives here." Judith, Lead Virtues Teacher at Mwiyenga.

A team of 48 Head Teachers, 2 Curriculum Support Officers and 1 Sub County Director of Education from Sotik County visited this school for Bench Marking.  Bench Marking means, "learning from those ahead of you in performance so as to improve."  They had come to learn from the teachers at Mwiyenga to be able to improve their performance and deal with discipline cases in their schools, since corporal punishment has been declared illegal. They learned that the answer is to implement The Virtues Project! 

A portion of your donations to this project over the past three months have been allocated for Mwiyenga Primary School to provide virtues materials, school uniforms, water and more in exchange for teaching virtues to students, teachers, families and other schools. The first of three water tanks has been installed. Materials, purchased and shipped from the US, and uniforms, purchased in Kenya, are due to arrive in August.

Your donations have also supported Community Development Training and a Community Center for Virtues Connection Kakamega in Kakamega County.  Thank you for your helpfulness!  Picture of Table Banking at Marama South Virtues Joyfulness Support Group in Butere.  

Virtues training and study for effectiveness of The Virtues Project model in schools coming soon in Tanzania.  

Your charitable donations are making a big difference in Kenya. Thank you for your generous support!
