The development of the community can come through a proper educational
system to make decisions and changes about their farms, village,
create new agricultural tools, changes in their lifestyles. They will
also realize the necessity of schooling itself.
They can have a better understanding of their duties and rights. They
can learn about basic laws to protect them from various abuses or any
kind of violence.
The children in West Pokot lend a hand on the farm or livestock or
care for the household chores. Taking this into account, it becomes
essential to give particular importance to bring education to them.
Schooling will teach them why education is necessary? Show them that
to learn or to study is an exciting thing to do.
Education is a proper tool for enhancing their quality of life, learning discipline, creating awareness and capability, increasing freedom, increasing human development, and developing their own community to better live. Education is essential in such areas because the children need to get out of all kinds of blind beliefs with no connection with scientific meaning. Schools can teach sanitation and good hygiene practices, which will lead them to have a healthier environment. School can be a place for regular counselling for the children and parents.
We must give education to all children of West Pokot to make them
progress in their life. For this, we must assist in providing them
with basic facilities to ensure their growth.
At present, the schools don't have proper drinking water, decent
buildings, classrooms, blackboards.
