Kootoro School

Kootoro School Kootoro Mixed Primary School is a community project aimed at providing quality education for young children in the area along River Kerio.

Welcome to our school. Thank you for taking the trouble to come and learn about us.Our school is based in Nakaeeli Village, which is in the Keio Valley in Turkana, Northern Kenya. Here is a Google map link of where we are: https://goo.gl/maps/H78247eqRvM2 We have 314 learners, 2 TSC (Teacher Service Commission) Teachers, 2 Volunteer Teachers and 1 County Government allocated teacher. We also have

a cook and a guard.We need your help because we want to learn but our conditions –though improving- are very poor. Our community with the help of well-wishers and our headmaster Lotiki Thomas have tried their very best. They moved us from learning under trees, in the open air, to learning in temporary structures by raising Ksh.115,000 online.Our County Government in Turkana came to our aid, by building us two brick classrooms funded by the Community Development Fund. They also provided us with 50 desks. We are waiting for construction to commence to COMPLETE our school in 2018. Funded by The SAFARICOM FOUNDATIONhttp://www.safaricomfoundation.org We ran a successful campaign to provide us with books, it was championed by Kenyan personality Luca Berardi www.berardiluca.com. we received the textbooks we need. He also donated some clothes for our learners.UNICEF have always supported our efforts they provided us with exercise books and other learning materials but we always need donations of these. They have also provided water containers so we can purify the water we collect and bring to school..We have come a long way but we still need some help to reach our goals. Our current appeal is: To buy a 5000 Litre Water tank. Our nearest water supply is 3km away.To raise funds for the school’s non-government funded running costs, such as allowances for our volunteer teachers, school guard, cook and the motorbike our headmaster uses to fetch and deliver our food supplies.To provide practical things like starter-packs for each learner (uniform, shoes, socks, under-garments, sanitary products, solar light, toiletries, pens and pencils). To buy or receive through donation: * Local Wi-fi, antenna and solar power for our teachers and pupils. Our preferred solution is: http://www.brck.com/ * More desks, kitchen equipment, play equipment and anything else any kind hearted soul may be willing to offer us.

Our school is miles away to Lodwar, it is costly for poor parents to travel to process for birth certificate. Kindly, can someone responsible bring this service closer to our parents

We have made great progress in improving our learning environment with the help pf donations. We would benefit from having a kitchen garden to secure our food supply. Please help our Headmaster make this a reality.

We would be overjoyed if you were able to help our school get a reliable, sustainable source of water. We have made a great deal of progress but our lack of water is affecting our learning.

“Whatever the size, we can install and service it. The SP30 - 43 is one of the biggest submersible borehole pumps. With our unrivaled knowledge and experience spanning many years, we are the leaders in water and energy solutions ”

Our closest water source is 3km away. We now have containers from but we desperately need to store more, so we don't lose learning time fetching water.

Andrew Manson Hi, Lorna here we spoke about this little project some time ago. The school is in Kenya.

We have made some progress but the lack of water is a real issue.

Maybe this could be your next project?

There is more information on the page. Take a look.🇰🇪️
