NURSERY SCHOOL

There is NO free Nursery Education (or any other) in Kenya.

In January 2007, Abundance Ministries in Kenya transferred their "Abundance Nursery School Bungoma". This School is established to provide an essential foundation for very young children, and a 'Sure Start' in life.

The School to Bungoma has three sections, "Baby class", "Nursery" and "Pre-School Unit" and is headed by our General Manager, Senior Pastor Caroline Akinyi. Caroline is assisted by four dedicated Teachers' selected for potential and aptitude: The school has 98 children against a capacity for 75 children aged 3 to 6 years. There are currently 17 Orphans who are sponsored, but many more orphaned children are waiting for sponsors and are excluded from school until sponsors are found.

As a Policy, we do not recruit already-qualified teachers but identify those with potential, train them ‘on-the-job’ and pay for them to attend Teachers Training College. This Policy has proven very successful and was how Caroline came up to her very senior position.

Caroline obtained her Teacher's Training College (TTC) Early Child Development (ECD) Diploma with Distinction from the Migori Teachers Training College (TTC). Assistant Manager Gaudenzia Ayuma is in her final year of her ECD Diploma in Kakamega TTC in 2011, and two teachers are in training on their ECD Certificate Course In the Bungoma TTC in 2011.

At present; salaries, teaching materials and College costs are paid from the General Fund - which puts a strain on our finances. Thus, we seek Sponsors to assist with the costs of training teachers. You would touch the lives of many young children and give them a start in life, by assisting in this way

The Nursery School meets in a large rented house at present but we are looking to construct our own permanent building with four classrooms, offices, kitchen, etc, subject to finances being available (C. £30,000=). Plans have been completed by a Kenyan architect.
