MIN 1

MIN 2

It was reported that the home visits had started on a high note and we all agreed to do the exercise every Thursday after school. This will enable us to have a clear picture of the most vulnerable families.

We also agreed to initially just go to one or two families per week . This home visits are necessary because we noticed that some kids come to school very hungry and we would like to know the situation at home so that we can know how to handle them.

MIN 3

We have noted with a lot concern that most of our children lack essential items for learning.. this includes books, pencils ,bags and uniforms... Most of the parents are earning money that is not even enough to feed the kids. 

A few of our kids miss school for 2 days to 3 days a week and on doing a follow-up the parents feel like they should stay at home as the parents go out to look for work... This has really affected the academic performance and the social life of the kids.... One family even locks the two young ones in the house because the mother leaves home at 4am to go to the dumpsite to scavenge for food.... 

Due to this , we all agreed that porridge will be made very early in the morning before lessons start so that those who are hungry can take it for breakfast... We hope this will be of help. 

2. We also noted that the premises needs to be repainted since the paint on the walls is now dirty

3. Our toilets need a cistern each because currently we get water to use in the toilets from a bucket put outside the toilet.

5. We agreed that it was still very important for the kids to venture outside our hood so that they can learn more
