Minhaj Welfare Foundation completed a new school project in Kenya to give an education to both boys and girls from poor families. The secondary school in the small town of Kitere of Tana River Delta north east of Mombasa was completed in January 2015.
The Minhaj Secondary School will cater for more than 100 students who show outstanding promise but whose families cannot support their education.
At the opening ceremony, Dhadho Iddi (MWF Kenya co-ordinator) appreciated the efforts of those who supported the school: “Words cannot describe how much we are grateful, we are able to educate the children and begin to change the face of a nation,” he declared.
The school incorporates 3 classrooms, principle office, science laboratory, sanitation facilities and a room in which it is hoped computers will be put in place for the students. Kenya has a very high rate of children dropping out after primary education, this is mainly due to secondary education being very expense for families from rural areas. Minhaj Welfare Foundation hopes to build more schools and provide access to education to deprived communities in Africa.
