UK Based Organization construct 4 modern classrooms at Tiengre primary school in Kisumu

STAKEHOLDERS at Tieng’re primary school in Kisumu has fully welcomed the move by a United Kingdom based organization that has constructed four modern classrooms in the school at a cost of Kenya shillings  5.8million.

The organization known as Kisumu Children Trust based in the United Kingdom, through the Kisumu Children Ministry has put up the new classrooms which is aimed at decongesting both class seven and eight.

Addressing the gathering during the official commissioning the new facility within the school compound, Kisumu Children Ministries Cherry Brierley Children’s Home Manager Reverend Philemon Oguna said the Trust has put up the facility so as to help in accommodating the growing number of pupils who have enrolled in the school.

He says some nearly 40 pupils who are needy children and attend their classes at Tieng’re Primary school are also some of the reasons that has made the Kisumu Children Trust to construct the new classrooms.

Oguna adds that each of the new classroom will accommodate a total of 63 pupils.
Reverend Oguna says the organization will also manage to equip the new classrooms with desks worth about Kenya shillings 370,000.

He says the Trust has also been able to fence the whole school and construct a new gate at Kenya Shillings 1.3million as well as drilling a borehole and putting up a huge water tank at shs 2.2million.
He adds that they have a future plan of constructing toilets for the pupils whose population has greatly increased, adding that they have been having a partnership with the school for the last 12 years.

The school’s Head Teacher Alice Omollo has lauded the organization’s move to construct the new classrooms.

She says the school has a population of 905 pupils up from 300 pupils in the year 2010 when she joined the institution as its head.

Omollo says with the growing population of the pupils, there is still need to construct more classrooms and other infrastructure especially at this time when the National Government is implementing the new education curriculum known as Competency Based Curriculum {CBC}.
