Text by: Elizabeth (Lizz) Ooko, Kenya. The Likoni Ferry school was started in 2006 by a group of woman in the coastal region of Kenya who saw the need to offering better education to south coast childeren. But many schoolchildren drop out due to personal commitments and to date Mss Irene is the only person who has remained active with the project.
Mostly the school depend on the contribution from parents which in most occasions is not prompt. This makes it difficult for the school to operate.
The school has three teachers and some of the many challenges they face are lack of good training materials and lack of proper teaching environment. The three teachers are volunteers and raising money for there allowances which is a great challenge.
Most parents of the schoolchildren are not able to pay the feeding fee, which is about 50ct per day.
