Food project Bang’a during corona

Covid-19 is everywhere on the globe, so also inKenya. Especially the economic impact is enourmous. In bang’a more and more families struggle to get sufficient food day after day. We have helped the 15% poorest families for a period of three months with the supply of a daily meal. This gives them time to repair their houses and other jobs in and around their houses. And of course: they have food. The appreciation for this project is enourmous.

Kasemeni Healthcare facility

In Kasemeni and surrounding, healthcare facilities are absent. The nearest healthcare facility is one day walking distance. During 2019 eight people died because of delivery problems, typhoid, malaria and a snake bite. Unacceptabel. For Kasemeni and surrounding villages (in total 7500 people from 7 different tribes), this likely means about 75 unnecessary death cases if healthcare would have been nearby. That is why we, together with key representatives of the involved villages, aim to build a healthcare facility. The government will take care of staffing (a doctor and a nurse), medicine and healthcare materials, including a pharmacy. Indicative costs for this project are € 85.000.

Bang’a Primary School: New classrooms

The Bang’a Primary School is the largest primary school in the Bang’a area. More than 500 children go to school every day to enjoy education. The school is outdated, the groups are too large and many lessons cannot take place when it rains outside. Saidia Kwale Foundation is committed to the construction of three new classrooms. This would also bring the number of children below the Kenyan maximum of 50 children per classroom.

Bang’a Primary School: Girls dormitory

The Bang’a Primary School plays an important role for the girls of Kwale County. The school has almost as many girls as boys, in a poor area where education for girls is not always self-evident. The girls in class 8 currently sleep in a classroom without sanitary facilities. The Saidia Kwale Foundation raises funds to offer them a clean and safe place to sleep and live. The elderly men of Bang’a gave this project very high priority in the interest of the future of the girls. Budget indication: € 34.000,- More details can be found in the business case: Dormitory Banga business case

Bang’a Primary School: New Administration Building

The Bang’a Primary School is the beacon of hope of many young minds in Kwale’s poor Kinango region. The school provides fantastic education for children in an area where educated people are vastly outnumbered. The school is growing rapidly but is very outdated. Of the highest priority is the construction of a new administration building to effectively manage the school.

Kasemeni: Purchase a new water tank

Clean drinking water is a primary necessity of life. Nevertheless the people of Kwale county only have limited access to clean water. Foundation Saidia Kwale aims to repair a leaking watertank and replace the broken roof of another watertank. Read here what you can do to help making clean drinking water available for everyone.
