The Sarit Centre has given Sh10,500,000 to Westlands Primary School following their ended Christmas Campaign in a bid to finance the building of the school’s dormitory.
This comes after a report by IRIN showed that since the inception of Free Primary Education, many schools are coping with a 100 per cent or more increase in numbers while the amenities are still the same.
Media reports indicate that many public schools lack adequate infrastructure like classrooms, washrooms and the strain of the mass intake is expected to extend to accommodation facilities and teachers.
“We understand the responsibility of having good facilities in school is not only a government’s job but also the community’s. You can never go wrong in investing in a child by ensuring they are comfortable in their area of study”, said Nitin Shah, Chief Operating Officer of Sarit Centre.
The Westlands Constituency CDF donated Sh10, 500,000. The money that The Sarit Centre and Westlands CDF have given Westlands Primary School will be used for the construction of dormitories at the school.
