Story
Tharua Special School is a newly formed boarding school in Laikipia, Kenya. The school currently has 25 students and is hoping to take on another 25 students as the site develops. These students all have varying levels of disabilities, including: spina bifida, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, autism, blindness, deafness, communication needs and learning difficulties. These children are highly vulnerable in society and the staff at the school are determined to help create a safe, loving environment for them to live in during term-time. The 25 students are however currently sleeping in crowded, disused classrooms from the neighbouring primary school and there are no purpose-built equipment/facilities. The toilets and showers are also completely inadequate. They have recently been given a two acre plot of land to build on and have managed to build one classroom from the help of another charitable foundation. However, there has currently been no further funding offered to develop this site or facilities further.
I am raising money to enable the children of Tharua Special School to bathe in hot water by Inserting a solar water heater so the children can bathe in comfort.
