November 1, 2021 - As many of you know, in June of 2021, a fire broke out in the Nambale Magnet School’s boys’ dormitory which was started by an electrical fault causing 50% of the boy’s dorm to be irreparably burned.
Mercifully, no one was hurt and, thanks to the fast action on behalf our generous donors, the school was able to clean up and provide temporary housing for the displaced learners. Beds were replaced and special attention was given to the children in assisting them with the trauma of the event. Now the job of rebuilding begins.
Coincidentally, the fire occurred at the very same time as discussions were already underway on a path forward into the future and a ten-year plan to update infrastructure and curriculum.
Below is a window into the plan so far:
