On September 12, all children from Kolol Primary school classes 1-4 (65 kids in total) went on a tour. During the course of this year, we got the idea to do something special for the children. It's great to have new classrooms, books, etcetera, but it's still school. It's good for the future of the children, but it's all serious stuff. Besides that, we realized that almost non of the children had ever been outside Kolol. The families just don't have the money to pay for a...

In July and August Kibet4Kids kept working hard to improve education in the Kenyan country side. We finished the construction of the second classroom. This class room is meant for the pupils of class five (starting January 2015), but at this moment it's already being used by one of the nursery classes, since they have a lack of space. Apart from that we made a sign board for the school, in cooperation with the board of directors (see picture). Up to now the name of the...

The community and the primary school of Kolol lacks almost everything, also study materials. Up to now, the ratio pupils:textbooks was approximately 8:1. In other words; in a class of 24 pupils, on average 21 had no book. You can imagine how hard it is for them to follow the lesson and that it's almost impossible to get good grades. In March Kibet4Kids went to Eldoret, together with two teachers from Kolol for some big shopping. We bought school supplies for more than 2200...

Preparations were already done in October; the community of Kolol had worked hard in preparing the terrain of the...

Hilda Kibet and Hugo van den Broek had a meeting with the deputy DEO (District Education Officer) from Keiyo district – one of the districts in Kenya – mister Chemoiywo. He gave them valuable information about the number of primary schools in this district, as well as the number of pupils per school and class. This helps us in determining which schools are most in need of help. Mister Chemoiywo is of the opinion that the main reason for the less number of pupils in high...
