The partnership with the Machakos Rotary Club continues to move forward as we prepare for improvements at Kivutini Primary School. With Kenya’s school term and national exams limiting access through October, the local team is shaping a construction plan that keeps students safe and stays within Ministry of Education rules. Some work may begin during the term, but major pieces including sanitation upgrades will launch once schools close in November.
The implementation plan is being finalized now. Funding is in place, district approvals are set, and both clubs are aligned on roles: Machakos leading coordination on the ground, Morning Star supporting monitoring and reporting.
A visit to Kenya by the MSR team is set for January 25–February 6, 2027. During this visit we will celebrate the project completion and assess future opportunities for service and impact. If you are interested in traveling with the team, speak to Janet Kolepp.
