Kolol primary school

Those who follow us for longer, will remember Kolol primary school. Kolol was the first school that was built by Kibet4Kids, between 2013 and 2017. In 2022 / 2023 we built a kitchen for the school. Until then, the school was using a traditional kitchen, made of soil, which wasn’t hygienic. Kibet4Kids was able to build a proper kitchen, with a fire place, a work top and many cupboards / shelves. This was officially opened in February 2024.

Back in 2021 we also used some of our funds to support three of the best pupils from Kolol primary school. They had finished their final exams and were invited for one of the top high schools in the province. All of these were boarding schools, which means the children live, eat, and sleep at the school. Their parents did not have enough funds to pay for the school, so Kibet4Kids stepped up and paid for their first year in high school – with the assumption that the community would be able to pay for the remaining three years.

• Enock Kiptui went to Kapcherop boys high school
• Sheila Tanui went to Metkei Girls high school
• Abigail Kipchumba went to Sing’ore high school

The head teacher of Kolol confirmed to us that all three pupils are doing well, and are doing their final high school exams in the coming month.
