Walk physically in order to study
Obbitu children walk to school every morning not only at Sololo Primary school but also to Sololo Mix Day High school.
They walk for 3 Km to school and back over lunchtime and back to school until evening. Cumulatively they will walk for 12km per day for 5 days. The weather will not deter them from reaching their destination even when it’s too hot or rainy season.
The project has invested in education through provision of school uniforms, school fees,books, nutrition and health care. This should translate into improved performance but other factors come into play.. the environmental factors, the community attitude and perception towards children and schooling. This influence also affects our effort to make the children perform better.
Therefore our children are average on performance and our responsibility is to support them to improve on their best. This is done through counseling, provides extra reading material like story books, lighting to read and do homework in the evening.
The photos attached show our daily routine in quest for education where our vision is to see an enlightened and healthy community through education.
