The education center

Bukokholo education center began modestly in 2002--the dream of a woman named Judith Mukhamba. His dedicated purpose is to ensure the needy children roaming the dirt paths of this rural area have a place to get an education. Education remains the key to helping these children break the cycle of poverty. It is a critical component to better jobs in the future. The number of children turning to bukokholo education center has increased. While the sponsors and donors endeavor to improve conditions, we still enormous tasks ahead.

It is used us all classrooms at our education center consists of sheet metal nailed posts for walls and roofing, dirt floors, and wooden bench desks. Chalkboards scarce and those that exist are in poor repair. We welcome any kind of donations or sponsorship and donors, to build a better school for this children for their future lives we needy to build classes for the children from 3-18 years old who attend the education’s. lack of school classes a Classrooms often hold more than 70 children with one teacher, and desks that should serve three children, serve five.

Classes start at Baby Class level, moving into Nursery School, then Pre-Unit (like our kindergarten), then standard one, two, and so forth through standard 8. Children then take an exam to determine if they can be promoted to to join a public high school, which begins with Form 1.

Subjects include Math, English, Kiswahili, Science, Social Studies (Geography, History, and Civics), and Bible. Textbook ratios are approximately one textbook for every five students in most classes, which is challenging for both the children and teachers. Despite the challenges of serving one of neediest areas, Bukokholo education center strives to provide quality educational, extracurricular and community enrichment programs. The teachers and children are proud of their accomplishments and committed to expanding their opportunities for a brighter future. Judith, as we fondly call him, local representative regularly with the sponsors to keep us informed of special activities and needs. This enthusiastic woman with never-ending energy and purpose is an inspiration to all who have witnessed his commitment to the children of bukokholo education center.

The Children

It is hard to imagine the level of poverty that our bukokholo children grow up in. The bukokholo rural areas in Kenya, where they live are considered among the worst and mostly in the world, according to reports. Some of these children are actually Aids orphans, trying to fend for themselves. It is not uncommon for the children to attend school during the day, only to return home to care for a sick or dying parent at night. Some live with one parent, others with older siblings, who are often teens themselves. Most parents and guardians are unemployed and under-educated. Especially vulnerable are the "children of the community". These are orphans who have no adult family, and depend on the kindness of people in the community for a place to stay, moving from house to house when necessary. Some of these children exhaust all options until there is no place left to go. They would be living alone on the braid parents,

Our Families and Their Homes

In bukokholo village, the extended family has traditionally taken care of orphaned children. However, the growing number of children who need care as the incidence of HIV/AIDS grows now increasingly burdens the traditional care structures. In many cases, the grandparents have to care for the young children and in some cases children as young as 10-12 years olds become the head of such families. In yet other cases children living completely outside any family structure either in orphanages or on the streets. Poverty has eroded the capacity of bukokholo families to take up additional children.

In the bukokholo, people live quite densely. Houses are made in mud. Entire families often live in a one room shack. Pit latrines are scarce and those that exist over flow into the footpaths where people pass each day. Litter and garbage are everywhere.
