The library of Kessup Public Primary school was renovated by Kibet4Kids. As you can read on this page, in a message from earlier this year, Kibet4Kids received a donation from RobVeer.com, which was specifically meant for Kessup Primary School. The library of Kessup was in a very bad condition. The roof was about to fall down and the place was […]
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.

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. […]

Our plan is to finish the first classroom before the end of the year, so that the pupils of Standard 4 can use it and will not be forced […]
