The Need To Build Schools In Kenya And Other Countries

By Shirley Parker


The future of the world is in the classroom. The passport to the future is education. Tomorrow belongs to those who pursue education today. The most powerful weapon that can change the world is education. The power of education should be harnessed to create better societies. Education is not preparation for life. It is life in itself. The initiative to build schools in Kenya is a very noble initiative. That is because Kenyan children deserve to get high quality education like their counterparts in the West. Educating a single Kenyan child is simply educating the entire village.

There are two things that should be there is a society: schools and hospitals. There should be as many schools as possible. Having many schools will mean that there will be an opportunity to educate many doctors and that will greatly improve the state of society. A school will not only produce doctors. It will also produce engineers, lawyers, accountants and pilots.

In a hospital, lives are saved. One might come to a hospital, very sick and in a bad state but will leave the hospital feeling well and having being saved from the pangs of death. In a school, lives are also saved but in a very different and unique way. Actually, schools are in the business of saving people from ignorance.

The developing world is facing many challenges. In some parts of Africa and Asia, people even do not have access to clean water. Among the problems facing a country like Kenya is the challenge of having few educational facilities. That means that one school handles more than its fair share of students subsequently leading to poor learning conditions for students.

Of the greatest contributions that one can make to the Kenyan society is helping in the construction of well equipped academies where children will be able to learn in a good environment. Doing so will give many poor children a chance to obtain much needed education that will improve their lives. The best life ever starts with obtaining an education.

One can contribute to a non government institution that is concerned with building educational facilities in Africa. There is more blessing in giving than in receiving. The hand that gives is the hand that receives. One can help in cash or in kind. There is no need to turn a blind eye to the plight of the suffering masses.

Before contributing even a single cent, one needs to establish the reputation of a charity organization. There is totally no need to contribute money to an organization that spends a big chunk of its income towards administrative costs such as paying management hefty salaries. Administrative costs of a charity organization should be less than one percent of its annual budget.

Education is a basic human right. Ignorance is the worst thing in the world. Most of the problems of the world have been caused by the disease of ignorance. The most powerful man in the world is not the one who controls the nuclear arsenal of a country. It is rather the person who is properly educated and has wisdom.
