The Kao la Tumaini school was established by Pastor Moses, a man with a
vision for the people of this area. While currently the school is
one room in a temporary corrugated iron building, there are already
plans for a two story replacement. In the meantime, the school
pushes forward, with a complete primary (grades 1-8) and secondary
(grades 9-12) school curriculum. (Some of the older girls from
this area who have just finished primary education are actually
supported, via the Giraffe project, at the Enna
school for girls, which offers a better education that can be
provided today in Korogocho.)
We visited on a Sunday and were treated to their church service - a
wonderfully open experience where we were welcomed with open
arms. Below pictures of Richard and myself speaking at their
church service - the man next to us is Pastor Moses, who translated
everything we said into Swahili!
Like at the other schools, we established a computer center
for the students at the school. Due to security concerns, they
rented a room in a nearby, secured building for the computers.
