Gogoraruhe Primary School - Kenya

Before, the Students used to learn under this tree.

Sitting on the stones

A box of school supplies from Gogoraruhe exhibits the dearth of materials prior to SMRC involvement with the school. The box was the entire inventory of materials at the school at the time. SMRC provided chalk, notebooks, pens, paper for up to

300 pupils.

SMRC decided to take action and build a new School for the children

Gogoraruhe Primary School is under construction. All unskilled labor was donated by the community.

Gogoraruhe Primary School is completely built, painted and includes a rainwater catchment system and a safe latrine.

These were the stones in the barren classroom where students used to seat and learned during school.

After the work of SMRC this is Grade 1 where students are learning in a new classroom, sitting at desks and using pens and paper to take notes.
