Akili Girls School Project

The Problem

The Akili Girls Preparatory School is an all girls boarding school supporting girls from Obunga slum and rural Kanyawegi village. There are a few classroom spaces that are unfinished, due to financial limitations when the school was first built.

The Solution

We have provided the necessary funding to have two classrooms refurbished and ready to accept students. The completed project includes tiling, doors, windows, painting and furniture.
