PAPARAZI JUNIOR ACADEMY (KENYA) ORPHANAGE
MISSION
To help needy children access the equal
opportunity of education
MOTTO: Focus for a better future
HISTORY: Established in 2009 to help the school age children in a poor area of UKUNDA to access education. The children cannot receive education in the normal way due to financial and other constraints.
The children attending school are either orphans or from the poorest families in the area. Some of them are HIV positive.
TEACHERS: There are three teachers in the school at present all are trained and qualified, teaching kindergarten and at primary level. An additional teacher is required due to rising numbers.
Due to the Academy relying solely on donations
the teachers give their time for little or no pay.
PUPILS: There are currently 40 pupils in school. 15 of these are orphans and 4 HIV positive. The remainder are from poor families that could not afford education in any other setting.
There are more orphaned children and HIV Positive children expected to require places soon.
THE SCHOOL: The school is currently situated in a rented house, but with the help of well wishers and supporters it is hoped that land can be purchased to build a new school with better facilities and a more user friendly design.
UKUNDA: Is a small town situated South of Mombasa, close to the popular holiday resorts on Diani Beach. (See Google Earth for more information)
THE CHALLENGES
The school/orphanage faces a number of challenges mainly due to:-
Lack of land available for use of education
Not enough chairs and desks for rising number of pupils
Lack of text books
More teachers required and better opportunity to pay them a fair wage
Lack of playground facilities and toys for children
Lack of funds for purchasing modern teaching materials
Lack of sponsorship to support teachers to get higher education, i.e to purchase degree courses for effective learning in school.
SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Schooling
Pupils receive a full day of education, literacy, numeracy, geography and social skills. Music and dancing and learning through play is encouraged.
Feeding
All the pupils are fed while in school. Those from the poor families cannot afford food in the lunch hour so all pupils receive a meal at lunchtime and are also fed porridge at break times.
All food is reliant on donations from well wishers and supporters. The cost for food is approximately 1500 kenyan shillings per day (£13.50 sterling)
