Big help from Northeim: 11,000 euros collected for school in Kenya!
Ground has been broken for a new preschool building in Kisiriri, Kenya! Claudius Müller, a 20-year-old volunteer from Northeim, experienced this significant moment on July 11th, which represents great hope not only for him, but also for the children of the Kisiriri Outreach Academy. Over 11,000 euros were collected through donations from private individuals, companies and the Rotary Club of Northeim to make the construction project possible. HNA reports that Müller supports the teachers during his “Weltwärts volunteer service” and at the same time offers lessons in German, mathematics and English, including football training for 30 to 40 students.
Müller has been living in Kisiriri, a village northwest of Nairobi, for over nine months and is staying with a Kenyan host family. His host parents run the school, which particularly cares for poor, parentless or disabled children. He himself has experienced the school's pressing problems first hand: classrooms that are too small, broken floors, leaky roofs and inadequate lighting pose a serious threat to early childhood education. Many classrooms have to be demolished to make room for new, safe and suitable rooms. This led him to create the educational project “Future through Education!” to launch the project, the aim of which is to build three new classrooms. You can find more information about this project on GoFundMe.
A strong foundation of community spirit
The total costs for the construction amount to around 25,000 euros, with the Rotary Club of Northeim having already contributed 10,000 euros. Müller and his team are currently still around 4,000 euros short of the roof construction and interior fittings. Construction is expected to be completed within eight weeks, and Müller plans to return to Germany at the end of July. Voluntary-Voluntary also offers further information on development education projects that are important to those interested.
There are various donation options available for people who would like to support the project. 100% of the donations go towards the construction of the new classrooms. Funds can be transferred to the Rotary Germany Community Service account. V. can be transferred to Deutsche Bank. Committed supporters can find details about this in the publications of Müller and the organizations involved.
Müller would like to thank everyone who supported him and the project. The groundbreaking ceremony symbolizes not only the start of construction work, but also cohesion and solidarity for the education of children in Kenya. He stays in touch with his supporters via social media such as Instagram and shows progress on this important project.
