Electrifying!

22/8/2016

As promised, we have received fabulous news about how the money raised at our sponsored event has been spent.  

Our 'Get Active' sponsored event has provided a printer, some school uniforms and security grills for the windows at Nyandiwa School.

​Additionally, and very significantly, Nyandiwa School now has electricity through more of the school buildings!  Not many schools in rural Kenya have electricity but Kenya Power has been given the task by the Kenyan government to provide electricity local to all primary schools in Kenya. The task then is for the school to find the funds for the connection from the school to the main supply outside the school and the wiring and fittings. Thanks to the children and families of Buckingham Park raising money at the 'Get Active' sponsored event,  Nyandiwa now has classroom lighting and power outlets for equipment. This is great news!

    About Nyandiwa

    We are privileged to be linked with a school in western Kenya, Nyandiwa Primary School. Nyandiwa is situated about 3.5 kilometres from the town of Oyugis.

    Nyandiwa School is very different to Buckingham Park, but there are many similarities too.  Nyandiwa is a large primary school with a nursery and a department for children with special educational needs.

    The link is enabled through a charity called Amani UK (www.amaniuk.org.uk). Amani UK is a registered UK charity, operating on a totally voluntary basis. With the Trustees meeting ALL expenses, overheads are nil and 100% of money donated goes to help the people of Kenya. So with that in mind, we will, where we are able, raise small amounts of funds to help our link school. 

    We will be looking into exciting ways of forging a strong partnership with our link school and developing a good friendship with the children, staff and families of Nyandiwa School.
