Inauguration of Toilet Block at Senior Chief Mutunkei Primary School

The Ablution block at Senior Chief Mutunkei Primary School is now fully operational, significantly improving the daily lives of pupils and staff. This facility was built in response to the growing enrollment and the urgent need for better sanitation.

Since its completion, the block has been instrumental in enhancing hygiene standards and creating a healthier learning environment, reducing the overall cases of illnesses related to poor sanitation. Pupils can now focus more on their studies.

The school administration and pupils extend their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Bhagyashree Shastri, Madhuri & Ram Hegde and Laasya Kakarla for their generous donations that made this life-changing project possible.

Inauguration of Alley Classroom Block

The new classroom block at Waitua Primary school was officially opened by the CEO Every Child Counts  Bindu Balakrishnan. This achievement marks a significant step toward enhancing the learning environment for the pupils, especially the Junior Secondary School (J.S.S) pupils who were previously congested in a small classroom.

The construction of this classroom block was made possible through the generous funding of donor Laura and Nicholas Alley. With the new classrooms, they  can now alleviate the congestion in existing classrooms, offering students a more spacious and conducive environment for learning.

This addition is a testament to the power of partnership in transforming education for our children. We are deeply grateful to Laura and Nicholas Alley and all who have contributed to this transformative project. Here's to a brighter future for the pupils at Waitua Primary School #educationforall

The Every Child Counts Scholarship Program

The Every Child Counts (ECC) scholarship program is a transformative initiative aimed at providing financial assistance to underprivileged pupils in Kenya, specifically targeting students enrolled in Waitua Primary and St Anne’s School in Murang’a County, Kanjeru Primary School in Kiambu County and Senior Chief Mutunkei Primary School in Kajiado County. These four schools are currently the focus of ECC in other programs including the school feeding program and improvement of school infrastructure program. Needy students from these four primary schools are supported to continue with their high school education. This program was established with the vision of ensuring that no child’s education is hindered by financial constraints and that every child, regardless of their background, has an equal opportunity to access quality education.

Through generous contributions from well-wishers, the program has been able to provide financial aid to 37 students from poor backgrounds across the four selected schools. This has enabled them to pursue their high school education without worrying about the burden of tuition fees, school supplies, and other related expenses. By addressing these financial barriers, the program has not only uplifted the lives of individual students but also contributed to improving the overall academic environment of the schools involved.

Due to the scholarship program, the beneficiaries have demonstrated remarkable improvements in their academic performance. Many beneficiaries have excelled in their studies and demonstrated their potential to become future leaders and contributors to society. By nurturing these bright minds, the program has sowed the seeds for positive change and progress in their respective communities and beyond.

It is our hope that the Every Child Counts Scholarship Program will get support from the local community, businesses, and other charitable organizations. Increased support and donations to the program will help expand its reach and provide more scholarships to other deserving students. Expanding the program's reach to cover more underprivileged areas remains a challenge due to resource constraints.
