Hope 631 a Global nonprofit starts a new initiative of building primary schools at the dumpsite in Nakuru Kenya. The African slums have been neglected for many years. The poor are abandoned and left to fate and the dumpsite has become a home for many. Though a violation of human rights, local governments have done little to nothing in helping these families change their way of life.
The Africa region has experienced an impressive increase
in the number of students enrolled in primary school. Between 1990 and 2012,
the number of children enrolled in primary schools more than doubled, from 62
million to 149 million children. In sub-Saharan Africa, 15 countries have
abolished school fees since 2000, enabling more children to attend primary
school. Despite tremendous gains in primary school enrollment, no African
country has achieved universal primary education. For a country to achieve
universal primary education, all children must have completed a full course of
primary schooling. Globally, 58 million children of primary school age were out
of school in 2012. Of that number, 38 million children were in Africa. About
half of all out-of-school African children will never step foot in a school in
their lifetime. Source: UNESCO, United Nations.
Primary education lays the foundation for the success or
failure of future learning. Hope 631 President, Dr. Grace Kinuthia, in
collaboration with IChange Nation™ President Dr. Clyde Rivers hope to change
the current trend which is epidemic and are calling on other world leaders to
support the new education initiatives around the world that will make the world
a better place.
