Continuing Our Partnership with the Kilgoris Project

Our friends at the Kilgoris Project do outstanding work, and are truly transforming a community. As such, we are proud to continue our partnership with them in 2018.

The valley community of Oloowang is home to two of The Kilgoris Project’s ten schools: Oloowang Preschool (opened in 2006) and Oloowang Primary School (opened in 2017). For more than a decade, the preschool prepared students for success in primary school while providing two daily meals, clean water, and medical care.

The Kilgoris Project is building campus infrastructure to support the school’s expansion, which will enable the campus to teach up through 3rd grade. At present, the Oloowang campus has a block of four classrooms, but the expansion will require additional classrooms, an upgraded kitchen, rainwater collection systems, and permanent latrines and hand washing stations.

The addition of grades 1-3 between now and 2019 will allow Oloowang’s Primary School’s students to continue to learn and thrive close to home until they are older and better able to walk the distance to the nearest government school. The expanded kitchen will allow The Kilgoris Project to serve larger, more nutritious meals to their students, and the community is already excited and motivated by the promise of expanding their school. 

We are thrilled to kick off this project, and will be certain to share updates as they come to us!
