A suitable small school was sought and Enkereri Primary School was found.\u00a0 It is about a 20 minute drive from Little Governors\u2019 Camp and sits on top of the escarpment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In September 2011 Richard Long visited Enkereri Primary School.\u00a0 It had out grown its existing building which was made in the traditional style of mud, dung and sticks.\u00a0 The community desperately wanted to build another classroom but could not afford to do so.\u00a0 The charity assisted by funding the building of a new classroom block of four classrooms and this was opened with much delight and celebration in February 2012. The evening before it opened there was a rainbow over the school !<\/p>\n<p>During 2022 two very large dormitories were built for the girls and the boys housing 80 pupils in each and including toilets and showers. This was funded by a very generous donation from a donor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mararianda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/girls-dorm.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-587\" src=\"http:\/\/mararianda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/girls-dorm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1254\" height=\"706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mararianda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/girls-dorm.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/mararianda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/girls-dorm-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mararianda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/girls-dorm-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mararianda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/girls-dorm-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px\" \/><\/a>Through generous support the charity has been able to fund the cost of providing each pupil with two school uniforms, shoes where needed, the financial support for two teachers and have a small kitchen and also latrines built.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][mk_gallery images=&#8221;346,347,348&#8243; height=&#8221;300&#8243; hover_scenarios=&#8221;slow_zoom&#8221; margin_bottom=&#8221;0&#8243; frame_style=&#8221;gray_border&#8221; orderby=&#8221;post__in&#8221; image_quality=&#8221;1&#8243; item_id=&#8221;1421171053-54b5596deb662&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1714073275027{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;] As most of the work the charity had supported was within the Mara Rianda community is was decided that we should give support to the area the other side of the Mara River which is known as Trans Mara.\u00a0 Many pupils had been [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":9,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mararianda.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mararianda.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mararianda.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mararianda.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mararianda.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/mararianda.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":588,"href":"https:\/\/mararianda.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/29\/revisions\/588"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mararianda.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mararianda.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
