Harembee Schools Kenya - HSK
United Kingdom
| Research/Dev
We work in the central highlands of Kenya, in the hills around the town of Gilgil. We have years of experience in the area. We have an excellent reputation around Gilgil, and in addition we have contacts in many different spheres. We aim to improve the physical state of schools by funding construction projects and providing textbooks; we believe that projects must have full community support and involvement if they are to have an impact and be truly sustainable. Their involvement also means that improvements made are maintained and looked after so that they do not fall into disrepair. We build capacity within local economies to supply schools with the services that they need, while supporting local entrepreneurs. For example, the young carpenter whom we trained to make high quality, durable furniture for HSK has had so much work recently that he has been able to train and employ three former street boys.
