Description

More than 60% of children aged 3 to 5 in Vota and Kathelembo endure long walks ranging from 3.5 to 5.3 kilometers to reach their nearest schools. This means an average round-trip of 7 kilometers per child. Particularly during the rainy season, many children are unable to attend school due to heavy rains and flooded roads. To address this challenge, Sharon Jelagat, a Volunteer based in Vota, played a pivotal role in facilitating the construction of Early Childhood Development (ECD) classrooms from conception to completion during her one year of service. This initiative has significantly reduced the distance children in Kikawani and Manza villages need to travel to attend school, while also providing a more organized, managed, and nurturing learning environment for them.
