Mbokomu Primary School Improvement

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.
