"Project Summary:
Waskam school is located at Riabai in Kiambu approx. 20 kms north of Nairobi. The school was started on 6th January 2009. 30 pupils have been admitted to the school since then i.e. 13 girls and 17 boys all of ages ranging from 3 yrs – 15 yrs. The school has a kindergarten and pre-school classes ie. Baby class, nursery and pre-unit. It also has classes grades one to six. The school targets the orphaned, the under privileged and the average children from neighboring communities.
The mission of the school is to provide quality education, promote innovativeness, creativity and inculcate moral values for sustainable individual and societal development.
The objectives of the school include promoting self-reliance in our children by providing basic primary education. To identify needy children from the community, streets and the slums in order to assist them in providing education. To love the unloved and extend a helping hand to desperate children in the society.
The school has six teaching staff and three non-teaching staff that include a cook. The school runs a feeding program for the children during the day. "Here is what their school day looks like:
