Ewuaso Oonkidong Comprehensive School
Location: Kajiado West Sub-County, Ewauso Town, Kajiado
Amara started working with this school in 2024.
The school was established in 1963 by the local community and church. Over the years, the government has supported the school with the construction of classroom as the population started to grow.
The AIC Church supports a feeding program but there was a challenge preparing meals over firewood in a dilapidated kitchen.
There was a need for a new ablution block for the boys as the existing structure had become a safety hazard.
Amara has assisted with:
- Have supported the school with regular donations of stationery and learning materials
- Installed a playground with funds received from the Mario Cup cricket team in 2024
- Construction of a new ablution block with the support of Grant Thornton, Uganda and Amara Charitable Trust
- Renovated the existing kitchen and installed 2 energy efficient stoves to improve cooking time in 2024 in partnership with the school
