Classroom Renovations & School Supplies
Mathare Community Outreach Primary School has been a beacon of hope in the Mathare slums of Nairobi, providing quality education to children for over two decades.

The renovation is urgently needed to meet the requirements of Kenya’s new Competency-Based Curriculum, which demands more space and resources. In addition to the renovation, the project will also fund the purchase of essential school supplies for both teachers and learners. The ultimate goal is to create a conducive learning environment that will benefit 484 students and 23 staff members.

New Building for School
With a steadily growing student body, Mesias Christian School’s existing rented facility is no longer able to accommodate all the children being enrolled. The current facilities have cramped classrooms and there is no open space for the children to play in. With more than 140 elementary school students now enrolled, there is also an impending need to expand the school to include a high school.
The school has purchased land for a new building. Environmental assessments have been completed and the land is being prepared for construction to begin. Plans for the three-story facility include nine classrooms on each floor, washrooms, science labs, an office for staff, and a small cafeteria. The new location will also provide children with green space, including a playground and basketball court. There are also plans to offer high-school technical education in graphic design and forestry, which will give graduates more opportunities for employment right out of high school.
