Our aim is to raise funds so that each year we can support some needy children from Meisori Primary School through their high school secondary education.  In addition, we would like to continue to provide some equipment to Meisori School to enhance the experience of its pupils during their primary education.

 

In 2008 we paid the fees for two 14 year old boys, Victor and Vincent, through their first year at high school and we provided (through a local carpenter) one batch of 25 desks for the Primary School in April and a further 25 in September.

 

In 2009 a further eight pupils from Meisori Primary went to secondary schools through our sponsorship, and in 2010 six more went to secondary schools and one to a polytechnic to do a course on dressmaking and tailoring.

 

Each year a small group of Trustees and donors visit the Primary School, and then travel, with the Primary Head teacher, to visit all our sponsored students in their boarding secondary/polytechnic establishments.  This means we know them all personally, see their school reports, see their school campuses and give them encouragement to study hard.

 

The Friends of Meisori School is a charity that was set up in December 2007 with the aim of assisting this particular primary school in rural Kenya.
