Manyatta Primary School Update

Children planting seedlings

Funding from Kuoni has helped to support Manyatta Primary School near Mt Kenya.

With 341 pupils, Manyatta Primary School was in serious need of new classrooms to provide an advantageous learning space.  In addition to the two built in 2007, a further classroom block has now been built enabling the school to accommodate even more children.  In fact, class 8 KCPE candidates sat their vital examinations in the new rooms which provided a quiet, airy place for them to concentrate.

The project also included the revival of a tree nursery at the school.  The seeds which were bought and sown by the students were transferred to propagation bags and continue to grow well.  Once the trees planted get even stronger, they will help to reforest areas which have been decimated by firewood collection and deforestation.

Kuoni also support the leopard Kuma and  the  lioness Shada  at the Jean Byrd Centre in Shamwari.  Keep  up to date with their progress  in the Big Cat Diaries
