Murindati Primary School
Date started: November 2005
Date completed: September 2008
Cost of project: £75,000
Size of school: Double stream school built for 640 pupils
One liner: It is built on the floor of the Great Rift Valley in a very dry area of Kenya. The Headteacher has never, in his eight years as head, ever seen the crops harvested before they shrivel in the sun.

More info: Thanks to a good friend of Kariandusi School Trust we have stocked the library with a great many books.The handover ceremony was a splendid affair. The local MP was the Guest of Honour and many other local dignitaries attended. The programme started with well rehearsed entertainment provided by the children followed by speeches, presentations and the formal cutting of the tape to signify the opening of the new school. All this was topped by a feast that included meat.
