PROJECT: Solar pump for Olooseos Girls Secondary School
Objective: Install a hybrid water pump for Olooseos Girls’ Secondary School.
Summary: Olooseos Girls is set to grow to over 800 children by the new year. Most of the girls at the school come from families which can’t afford the rising costs of fees or won’t pay to educate girls in favor of boys. A few of the girls come from rescue centers where they escape practices like early marriages and FGM. Nutrition is a major challenge in pastoral communities and some of the girls rely on school meals for a quality and steady diet. The project will help lower the energy cost within the school and provide enough water for irrigation to improve the girls nutrition.
No. of children: 615 girls and 32 members of staff
Partner Background: Olooseos girls’ secondary is an Extra County girls’ boarding school situated in the Kajiado West Sub-county of Kajiado County. It was first established in 1989 as a mixed day harambee school but in 2003, the school became a fully-fledged Girls’ boarding school. It meets the needs of the Maasai girl child who was faced with challenges like early marriages and F.G.M. To date, it continues to meet the needs of female students some of whom hail from rescue centers/homes within the county.

Our partnership with Kitechild and their role in helping us start the Shamba (Kenyan for farm) and dairy farm has eliminated expenditure for vegetables and milk improving the children's nutrition and health greatly. The water borehole, the vegetables and the milk has also brought the community closer to us, as they come to get water and buy milk and vegtables. We are now coexisting well.

Kitechild doesn't give us handouts or tokens, they give us VALUE. They provided us with the seeds and funding to build two greenhouses and today we have greenhouses full of green tomatoes and are expanding the farm to grow onions and potatoes outside in the open air. This is never heard of before in Masai land, growing one's own food, but with their help we did it.
