Sosian has started a programme supporting the local school just 3 kms from the ranch where 330 children attend daily.
Primary school education is now free under the government in Kenya but this is not the whole picture. While school fees and teacher salaries are paid, the numerous extras such as books, stationary, desks, sports equipment and even basic sanitation are not covered. Most of these things would be considered as the basics for a normal education in the western world but here they are luxuries beyond the reach of many parents. Many of these parents are subsistence farmers living in a harsh environment aiming to provide enough money to feed their families from day to day. This is a community that needs its children to succeed and provide for parents and families in the future.
School visits may be arranged and the staff and pupils are delighted to meet guests from Sosian. Anyone wishing to contribute to the school may send donations to Sosian to a special account set up to support the school and ensure donations are well spent.
