Following our visit in November 2012 we have been looking at the future for Kipawa in Kenya as it continues to grow and flourish. The money you are giving is really making a difference to the children in Mukuya. The school population has increased by almost 50% and more children in this area are getting an education than previously.
Nursery
Until now, Kipawa has focussed on the main aim of ensuring that children in Ruiru are fed and attending school.
As well as continuing to provide lunches and porridge in Mukuya, and building on the health and counselling programmes in place, we will help to extend the nursery provision.
Nursery education is not currently provided by the Kenyan government and relies on financial contributions from parents. Kipawa will part-fund the provision of nursery teachers in Kipawa.
Girls' Toilets
Following the successful renovation of the boys' toilet block at Mukuya, we are finalising the plans to building new facilities for the girls.
Classroom Refurbishment
In the coming months we will be refurbishing two further classrooms in Mukuya to the same standard as the new nursery classroom which was completed last year.

Sponsoring Secondary Education
In Kenya, secondary education is not provided by the government. Kipawa will fund a number of scholarships to enable needy children to complete their secondary education in day schools or boarding schools as appropriate. The funding will allow children whose families could not afford to send them to secondary school to gain qualifications that would have been out of their reach.
The scholarships will include funding for the full four years of secondary school plus the necessary social work and other support to ensure that the young people can make the most of their education.
