Tharaka Women's and Children's Programme
The Tharaka Children and Women Project in Marimanti, sponsored by the Trust, is supporting 17 children at Kamatungu and other Primary Schools in the area, and 25 children in Secondary Schools or Vocational Training. The new Headmaster at Kamatungu school, where the project is based, has changed the school completely.
- The girls dormitory has been completed.
- The kitchen has been cleaned, reorganised and extended.
- All but one of the classroom floors have been concreted and sealed.
- A covered veranda built the whole length of the school.
- The compound tidied and made safe.
- Solar power has been installed via the Methodist Time Travellers project. This provides light in the classrooms and dormitories.
The women have been supported with a goat project, they also make baskets for which the Trust is organising a regular market.
