Mwingi Eastview Academy, Kenya

My upbringing in a remote, underdeveloped semi-arid region of Kenya, and my early movement in other regions during my studies, gave me first hand experience of the ravages of famine. Our historical records and early development plans defined the war against poverty, ignorance and disease as the elemental trigger points in our search for dignified and wholesome living. These social ills remain important reference points in the search for answers to how best to promote peaceful co-existence among all people while alleviating the human suffering. "

In January 2003 together with my two Kenyan friends we implemented the intercultural marked development of a school project under a name Mwingi Eastview Academy (MEA). This is situated in Mwingi district of the Eastern Province of Kenya. The school is well functioning and in meantime it runs from nursery school upto the 8th class with 350 children and over 20 teaching load-baringly.

In 2006 under support of my European friends, we founded a non-profit oriented organization, Mwingi Eastview Foundation (MEF) and started other new projects.

Since then, MEF has supported many different projects in Mwingi region in Kenya. Students from different European Universities have also been doing educational reaseach and practical training in the region through MEF, with aim to improving cultural and educational exchange and cooperation. Many students from the University of Basel Instute of sports Science in Switzerland, Educational High School of Ludwigsburg in Germany and University of Innsbruck in Austria have participarted in these programs.

At the moment, the ongoing demanding project is the construction of a Girls Secondary School which is lucking in the region. Since girls are most unprivileged compared to boys when it comes to eduction in the region because most parents prefer to put more efforts in educating boys and neglect the girls, the slogan of this project says, "to educate a boy is to educate an individual but to educate a girl is to is to educate the whole nation." This school is planned to be with boarding facilities and shall accommodate 256 gilrs of age 9-12 years, giving priority only to the needy children. In the first academic year, it shall offer admission of 64 girls.

The Mwingi Eastview Foundation depends purely on donors and well wishers.  And to be able to finish this project i.e, equip the classrooms with desks and books, laboratory with lab materials and the dormitory with beds and matresses to be able to meet the planned opening of this school in January 2012, every single cent of donation counts and is most welcome. Donate and help to educate gilrs and make them build their future. Thank you in advance.
