Schools of Africa update: Handow Secondary School expresses gratitude for much-needed support
Thanks to our generous donors all around the country, Women’s Federation for World Peace USA was recently able to send a donation of $10,000 to the Handow Secondary School in Lugari, Kenya. This educational institution is one of ten schools in Africa that WFWP has been supporting annually as part of the Schools of Africa project.
Founded in 1998, Handow Secondary School is located in an impoverished rural area far from the capital Nairobi. The local population depends mainly on crop farming and livestock, and access to quality education is very limited.
Despite all the challenges, including a lack of electricity and running water, with the help of WFWP, Handow school has been able to grow and develop, graduating more than 2100 students, and it continues to make a lasting impact on the students, teachers, staff, their families and the community at large.
In a recent letter, Muzame Stanley, the principal of the Handow Secondary School, offered the following words of appreciation: “Thank you for your commitment to our community. It is organizations like WFWP that have enabled quality infrastructure for students in Kenya to access education irrespective of their social and home background. May the God Almighty bless you and protect all of you.”
He also detailed how the donated funds would be used in the construction of a new building that will include administrative offices as well as additional classes for the growing student population.
