Ardingly College Kenya Project
(UK, 1076456) Browse events
YTD Raised: £4,519.00More than half of Kenyans live in POVERTY –approximately 22 million people. 13% are unable to read; less than 30% of people living in rural areas have access to a toilet and only half of the rural population have access to clean water. Our desire is simple: to HELP and make a difference. The Ardingly – Ndogo School Partnership To mark the 150th Anniversary of Ardingly College we decided to raise enough money to help build a new primary school in Kenya through the Charity ‘The Kariandusi School Trust’, set up by Old Ardinian, Harry Vialou Clark. Ndogo is the thirteenth school he has built. Ndogo Primary School was mainly a mud hut school, situated in a very remote part of Kenya. It sits at the bottom of the northern edge of the Eburru Hills some two hour’s drive north of Nairobi in a semiarid area of the Great Rift Valley. The hills are the result of now extinct volcanic action. The tribes who live in the area rely on condensing steam that spurts from holes in the hillside for drinking water. To the north, stretching as far as the eye can see, are square miles of wild emptiness that not so long ago were inhabited by teaming animals of all types. Sadly, much of these have been hunted for meat and profit. The area has been described as being ‘at the epicentre of Black Africa’. Yet, for all that, the Rift Valley is strikingly beautiful and the children you encounter are always neatly dressed in their school uniforms and invariably cheerful in the face of considerable adversity. They are desperate to improve their lot by gaining the best possible education. Neither political intervention nor massive foreign investment will solve Kenya’s problem. The answer instead lies in educating the country’s children; indeed the more immediate issues of Aids and ecological degradation can only be tackled effectively if the next generation understands the problems and is taught how to deal with them. The Ardingly College community raised £80,000 to build new classrooms, a library and water harvesting system and tank at Ndogo and last summer we introduced a lunch-time feeding programme for the all Ndogo pupils (for some this will be the only main meal they will have). The building work has now been completed and we have converted the old colonial railway station which is on school land and built in 1903 at the edge of the infamous ‘badlands’, into accommodation for four teachers and their families. Because of the remoteness of the school staff have long distances to travel and sometimes didn’t arrive at work at all. We anticipate that this unique addition to our work will greatly increase the teacher/pupil contact and that learning will be greatly improved. At the last count there were 160 Luo, Kikuyu, Masai and Turkana children at Ndogo Primary School but there is no doubt that many more will wish to be educated there now the project is completed so we have built a school suitable for 320 children and due to increasing pupil numbers we will have to raise more money for the feeding programme. The fact that children from the main tribes in Kenya are represented at Ndogo was one of the reasons that attracted us to the project as it reflects the multi-cultural community we have here at Ardingly. Last year the group built a playground at Ndogo which was a resounding success. It’s an amazing privilege to see a 16 year old sit on a swing for the first time in their life (see pictures below). This year we plan to raise money to decorate the newly constructed nursery as well as build a large adventure playground at a nearby centre for street children.
