Students perform well in KCPE

 The year 2013 started well for us. The country bracing itself for an election and  hoping that all would turn out well. We are grateful that in spite of negativity, Kibera has remained peaceful during and after the March 4th Elections. This is important for us because our staffs and clients are residents of kibera and KTDP is commited to continue with the work that was started close to ten years by COA. 

  The year also started with anticipation for the students  KTDP had sponsored the previous year.Although the results for KCPE were delayed, both Joshua Mua and Isaac Tello performed well in the sitting. Joshua Mua scored 292 marks and Isaac Tello scored 310 marks out of 500 marks.

   KTDP has committed itself to help them in the in their secondary education.

   

Year ends well for KTDP

  It has been a great and challenging year for us at KTDP. We held our end year seminar where we discussed the progress of the projects. It was also a time for us to share our experiences and close the year with a positive mindset.Later on we held our end year party at City Cabanas in Nairobi.

The Director visits KTDP

 

Last week we were privileged to receive a visit from the director. He was accompanied by Helge. The director met KTDP staffs and also attended the graduation party where he had an opportunity to talk to the parents. He encouraged them to keep bringing their children to school because education is the key to a brighter future.

Helge did some work in the Western premise which involved painting the premise, and repair of the iron sheets.
