Ground Floor Did Not Meet Government Standards
The ground floor of the school was not in good enough condition to meet the criteria of the county government’s Ministry of Education to be an examination centre. The poor ground floor condition caused discomfort and safety issues for learners, especially during the rainy season.
New Floor Improves Safety and Standard of School
The donation from Luena Foundation was used to construct the ground floor. Both terrazzo and leveling of the floor were put in place to ensure durability and longevity. As a result of this, the school met the criteria of the Ministry of Education to be an examination centre and is more comfortable for the pupils, especially during rainy season.
Meet our Partner Community-Based Organization
Christ’s Victory Centre (CVC) is a registered Community-Based Organization that was established solely by a group of refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo in September 2009. CVC is located along Thika Road in Githurai 45, right outside Nairobi, Kenya. The idea of creating CVC came from the revelation that our founders received from the Bible in the book of Jeremiah 29:5-7: “… I must contribute to the peace, development and prosperity of the host country” (Kenya).
