About the project
Ng’onzini Primary School
📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Project overview
• Ng’onzini primary school was started in the year 1964 by the Mwachinga villagers. The main purpose was to bring learning services near the community. The school was built using local materials till the year 2000 when born free foundation came to build seven permanent classrooms and an office.
• The school is a government school ran by T.S.C Teachers and P.T.A Teachers. The school has an active Wildlife club which initiated a wildlife area (elerock nature trail) near the school environment. Children are made conversant with conservation activities day by day out. Other clubs include Debate, Choir and Drama.
• Apart from the government we have NGOs which do support Ng’onzini School. These include JICA (KEMRI), Plan Kenya, born free Foundation, Camp Kenya. K.W.S also constructed one classroom and the school is managed by committee of parents.
Vision: To educate both boys and girls.
Mission: To develop talent of every pupil for faster development of the nation

💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will work for six hours daily from Monday to Friday.
Manual work and Intercultural activities:
• Social work
• Teaching
• Playing games (football, netball, volleyball, and hockey).
• Creating awareness in conservation.
• Keeping and maintaining tree nursery
• Guiding visitors in the elerock nature trail
• Keeping the school environment clean
• Guiding and counseling students.
English is the language of the work camp. There will be a possibility of learning Kiswahili and other international and local languages as cultural diversity is a major component in international service
🏠 Accommodation on site
• Volunteers will stay in a house provided by the local people with very basic living conditions.
• Volunteers have an obligation to climb down the level of the people with the aim of exposure to development challenges.
• The Government policy to install ICT in primary schools has seen connectivity to the national power grid for most educational institutions in Kenya and this makes it easy for volunteers to use electric appliances while at the project.
• Furthermore, we invite you to bring typical food, spices, drinks, games and music from your country (for an intercultural evening) – and a lot of motivation!
🍲 Food
• KVDA will provide foodstuffs and volunteers will cook their own meals in turns.
• Water is available from springs and it is recommended that drinking water should be boiled or medicated. Mineral water available at supermarkets is also recommended.
🎒 Leisure activities
