1.0 EXCECUTIVE SUMMARY

As Kenya strives to attain the Millennium Development Goals and her National goals of Vision 2030 the issue of education takes centre stage. Education is the engine and driver of economic development and indeed the equalizer for social justice and challenges that are related to poverty and a factor of its reduction. This proposal is based on the premise that the best possible investment one can make in one’s future is education. “The value of education is really not a secret, it is similar to the miracle of compounding financial returns given with every pitch for retirement savings” (2009, The Jewish Phenomenon by Steven Silbiger).

2.0 INTRODUCTION

The history of Kaliati mixed day secondary school dates back to the year 2007. It is located in Kimerei sub location of Mbeu location in Uringu division, Tigania west constituency Meru County.  Presently the school has 230 students from form one to form four.

The school has managed to build 6 classrooms: 3 classes from Harambee fund raising and 3 from the CDF office Tigania West District,and currently 3 classrooms and a computer laboratory under construction from Harambee fund raising. The school is located in swampy area near Nkuru River which is a big obstacle when it comes to drainage system. The school was connected to the national power grid in the year 2015.

Around the school there are small scale mixed farms where some dairy cattle are kept and potatoes, tomatoes, maize, beans are grown. More than 50% of the people here live on less than 1 USD per day. The demand for high school education is very high but local resources have been unable to provide room for the increased primary school graduates.

The school management and the Parents Teachers Association are requesting assistance from your office for the construction of 2No sanitary blocks, finishing of the science laboratory and completion of electricity wiring. The Mbeu area community is very hardworking and hospitable and therefore the project will be quite easy to implement.  

3.0 JUSTIFICATION

The Mbeu community has been lagging behind because of the terrain around it.  The school is built on swampy area affected by the heavy rains which has affects the drainage system of the entire school including the latrines. The school is already connected to the Kenya Power limited company grid but only the science lab which have access to electricity. Only wiring of 2 classes which is already complete through Tigania West CDF financing. Many projects in Kenya have failed the sustainability test. The proposed project is very sustainable. This is because there is an overwhelming drainage system need and electricity connection and beneficiaries are also participating fully in the project conception, planning and implementation.

4.0 GOAL
