Text books for Boitang’are Secondary School




Boitang’are Secondary school in Igare, Bobasi constituency (Kisii area) was founded in 1971 as a community self-help project, a so-called Harambee school. Currently, most of the teachers are employed by the Kenyan Government but the school is still very much dependent on the community for all their other needs (including payment of the salary of three teachers). Apart from the local community, the school also receives support from the Boitang’are Old Students Association. This association was founded by a group of former students who started an ‘operation give back’ to the school that formed them.
One of the most pressing problems of the school is the lack of text books. The very few text books need to be shared among a large number of students, hampering their academic performance.
Elfu Bob relieved some of the pressure by stocking the school library with text books for all subjects, from Form 1 to Form 4.

As the patron of Boitang'are Old Students Association (BOSA), I feel greatly privileged to be identified with Elfu Bob. Indeed, I little bit of effort from each of us will make the world a better place for those kids who are not very fortunate.

  • The news that you assisted in donating books to Boitangáre secondary school for kids from less fortunate families means well to the people who live under this planet. You have touched many whose faces will ever live smiling. Bravo Elfu-bob.

    True that knowledge has no substitution but knowledge itself.
