From January 2013 onwards our run2gether Orphans’ Nursery School offers education and 2 warm meals a day to 30 children, who are taken very good care of by Lilian, the school’s headmaster. However the need of a school education is significantly higher, but unfortunately many parents can’t afford to send their children to Primary or Secondary School. We are very sorry, that almost on a daily basis, shortly after school has started, a child is sent home because their parents couldn’t afford the tuition. We want to provide a remedy for this problem. So, in close cooperation with the headmaster of the Kiambogo Primary School, in January 2014 we were able to put a system in place, that will help reduce the number of children sent home or even stop sending them home altogether. In order to fill the “funding pot”, we are looking for sponsors for this project. The headmaster of the Primary School and the local run2gether team in charge will ensure the earmarked application of the funds.
In a second step we want to realise adult education in Kiambogo. In cooperation with the local authorities we will choose specific areas of studies that could be of particular importance to the local population. Alongside of English classes we want to specifically focus on practical education in the areas of agriculture and energy. Another focal point are special advancement programmes for women.
With this project we hope to support the local population in their quest for a better future.
