Mbokomu Primary was built in the 1950’s but has lacked enough funding to maintain and upgrade its facilities since then. Currently around 350 students between the ages of 5-16 years are enrolled and many have to walk over 20 kilometres a day just to attend class.

 

This area also suffers from large-scale soil erosion caused by biannual floods, which makes it very difficult to cultivate vegetation and leaves children with virtually no usable sports field or recreation area.
