Computer Classroom

What has been achieved so far?

• 31 students were sponsored through the Koiyaki Guiding School in the last six years (value:US$58,400)
  
• We have donated 100+ pairs of binoculars to the Guiding School students to take with them into their new jobs.
  
• At the Rekero Trust HQ we have built and equipped a modern computer classroom for the local schools and communities. Installed 12 laptops with some having wireless connection to the Internet via a satellite network connection. We believe this is probably the first primary school in Kenya with direct Internet access giving the children incredible access to the technology and knowledge base. We have also employed a full time computer teacher.
  
• To allow for uninterrupted access to the Internet and to minimise dependence on fossil fuel powered generators we have installed a new inverter system and are looking to raise funds to cover solar panels to further reduce/ eliminate the need for generator support.
