On 3rd February, the Rotary Club of Karen gave high school scholarships to the top three students at Nkaimurunya Primary school. In November during the District Governors visit to the School, we pledged to support any students that would make it to High school by supporting their High School fees.
Three candidates have been called to progress to High School, one of them being a National School.
They are:-
- Waynadoci Okoth who scored 377 marks,
- Harrison Kimani who scored 354 Marks,
- And Martin Ngaya who scored 353 Marks
Nkaimurunya Primary school has never recorded such high marks before. This has been greatly enhanced by the support that the Rotary Club of Karen has provided over the last ten years. Over the period The Rotary Club of Karen has established a library at the school, and donated revision books, and mathematical instrument sets, through our Basic education and literacy programs. In addition the Club has also provided mentorship sessions to the students.
The funds for these have been raised through donations by members, and fundraising activities. The Rotary Club has committed to provide these scholarships into the future as well as raising further funds to renovate the Special needs classrooms.
