Additional Needs:
1). Learning Materials such as text books, exercise books, pens, pencils cryon and manila papers: majority of our pupils come from disadvantaged families. Buying of learning materials for their children is not their priority. This becomes a challenge to us because for the pupil to be well eguipped with education they should have proper materials.
2.) Food. Provision of well balanced and nutritious food reduces absentism and increases class attention. As a school we find this as a challenge because food items are expensive to us and also to the parents.
3). Equipments such as chairs, tables, computers, laptop, printer and office files.
4). Infrastructure – The school is constructed using iron sheet which are old, mud wall and post that do not give. Our school needs major renovations; when it rains, the classroom is flooded and the children are uncomfortable and wet. Our school building was put together with reclaimed lumber and bits and pieces form construction sites. We need to purchase materials to make appropriate repairs, which will be extensive. We appreciate your willingness to help all our children.

1. Your general geographic location (to see if postage is feasible or to arrange pick up/delivery) and to narrow down the search, such as “New York city area, USA”.
