A few years ago, the Kenyan government sent five headteachers to schools in rural Kajiado county. Most of the county is an open expanse of scrub and water-stressed earth. It’s a challenging place to staff due to the difficult living conditions.

Of the five headteachers, only one stayed: Headteacher Mary Silole.

Listen to Headteacher Silole share about Soitamurt Primary School and her drive to secure food for her students.

 

 

Since the KKC school lunch program started at Soitamurt, we’ve seen enrollment rise, truancy plummet, and students free to focus on learning instead of hunger.

You can help keep food flowing to Soitamurt Primary and 39 other rural schools by giving today.
