New Kitchen!
Nasaruni benefitted from your generous donations of $14,500! That’s astronomical – thank you so much! A kitchen, connected to the dining hall, now provides meals for 130 students, teachers, and staff. Funds were also used to outfit the kitchen with boilers. There was enough left to purchase one dairy cow to contribute nutritious milk for the children’s chai.

New Dining Hall!
Thanks to your efforts, we raised over $9,000! Students of Nasaruni now eat their lentils & ugali sitting in a large dining hall! This is vital now that the dormitory is nearly full. Not only will it serve students and staff, but also the whole community. Parents will also participate through meetings and parent education nights focusing on the mission of Nasaruni, health, nutrition & hygiene instruction, and cultural presentations by the students.
