IIRR Schools in Kenya to Receive New Textbooks
(United States Office - July 7, 2010) Children enrolled in IIRR’s Pastoralist Education Project schools in Kenya are about to receive new books worth over $8,500 thanks to a generous donation of 38 cartons of books from the Jomo Kenyatta Foundation (JKF).
IIRR believes that education is a basic human right and is critical to a community’s development. We are leading the way to quality basic education for all through our Pastoralist Education Project serving children and adults in pastoralist areas of Kenya, Ethiopia, and Uganda. Through this project, we have supported more than 60 communities in building schools, training teachers, designing curriculum and school schedules to fit the pastoralist lifestyle, and along the way have introduced many children and adults to school for the very first time.
While the project has been very successful, we continue to need funds and supplies to expand to new areas and to cover basic needs within the schools. The book donation from the Jomo Kenyatta Foundation includes Math, English, Social Science, and Kiswahili textbooks, workbooks, and some storybooks. We applaud the foundation’s generosity and cannot wait to see the faces of the children when they receive this gift!
