What does the project involve?
The project involves visiting tourists engaging in refurbishing, renovating and setting up a primary school in the village of Ndalu in Western Kenya. During the period the visitors will be spending the evenings with volunteer families who will be hosting them for the period of stay.

What exactly do we want to do?
- Paint the naked walls
- Make concrete floors, instead of the existing cow done-floors.
- Place wooden frames and doors
- Place window frames and windowpanes
- Drainage in alley, which washes out with rains
- Make school furniture, since 90% of the pupils are seated on the floor

How long is the project?
The programme runs for a period of three weeks. The community development segment, however, runs for one week and is the second part of the programme.

Who is to be involved?
Anyone with the will power and mind to give a helping hand in whatever way is able to assist. In other words any assistance of whatsoever kind will be appreciated.

Who is to gain from the project?
The programme is aimed at the whole community benefiting from its results. This means that areas that benefit the whole community are the only ones that shall be considered during the project, mainly social amenities.

Where is it?
The village of Ndalu in Western Kenya, appoximately 300 km from Nairobi, the capital. Initially allocated as a settlement scheme, the area was formally a part of the ‘white highlands’. This name originated from the colonial periods when the fertile lands were taken over by the colonial settlers. With a population of approximately 30,000 people, Ndalu is generally a cosmopolitan area with a mixture of Kikuyu, Kalenjin and the predominant Luhya tribes.

Over the years, due to a population explosion caused by inflow of people escaping the tribal clashes, the social amenities in the area are no longer adequate enough to satisfy the requirements of the population. Being a densely populated area there is need to improve the quality and if possible number of available amenities.
