Ngeya Primary School: June 2011

Welcome to Ngeya Primary School

Ngeya Primary School was started in 1989 with only 184 pupils. In recent years, the population has greatly increased due to the introduction of Free Primary Education in 2003, internal displacement after the elections of 2002 and 2007, and population growth in Maai Mahiu town.

Currently the population stands at 1700 students with 300 desks, 18 classrooms (most unfinished), and 12 teachers. The school has a lunch feeding program provided by Kenya Kids Can. The classrooms have no electricity, and currently there are no computers at the school. This blog is updated from Kenya by Ngeya Primary students working on two donated laptops which are brough into the school twice per week by CTC Rafiki Link educators.

On this blog you will find posts from Ngeya Primary school and partners from around the world. Read and enjoy!

We shall be sending a video soon before we close so be on the look out.
It is so exciting because one of the Rafiki Link teachers madam Anita Hayhoe will be visiting us on July 14th and we cant wait to hear from her about Albion Heights in Toronto.
Keep posted to know how the visit was.

We love you all.
