Pamojo

The goal of Pamoja Mission Africa (PMA) is to support orphans and vulnerable children and providebasic education. Their goal is to guide them until they can spread their wings and fly. PMA also ownsa piece of land, the PMA land, on which crops can be grown. These are used to feed the children.Cooking is done twice a day: for breakfast and lunch. Furthermore a livelihood group for the parentswas established. In this group parents support each other and discuss how to solve problems.

Our project takes places in two schools in Nyeri county. The first school is called Star of Hope. In thisschool some – but not all – children are financially supported by PMA. About 20 children are taughthere. The building consists of corrugated sheets. The second school is located at the PMA land. It wasnamed Newland. The site consists of one main building (three classrooms + second floor), thekitchen, toilet and staff houses. This school teaches 15 children. At the moment, the main building isstill under construction. Plastering and wiring will be done when we arrive.

Both schools need electricity in order to be able to charge phones and two laptops, for a televisionand for lighting in the evening/night. The latter is, amongst other things, important to them in termsof security.
