The Akisiom foundation supports small-scale projects at schools, and gives help to four individual children.

Our current projects include:

Akisiom helps to complete and improve basic facilities on a school in a very poor area in Kenya. In 2010 we have started sponsoring the construction of a new dormitory for girls. Read more.

2. Educational materials
For two schools in Karamoja, the Kalotom and the Matany school, the foundation provides basic educational materials such as exercise books, pencils and pens. The foundation provides the schools with these materials every school year (see picture on the right)

3. Beds and mattresses
Because children have to walk long distances to school through a very unsafe environment, the foundation sponsors beds and mattresses. In the summer of 2005, 60 beds and mattresses were delivered at Matany school. At the end of 2007, 30 new beds and mattresses were sponsored. The foundation wants to continue ordering beds and mattresses until every child can stay in the school overnight. At the moment, the school rooms serve as classrooms during the day and dormitories at night. For the future, we would like to collect enough money to build a separate dormitory.

4. Uniforms
By sponsoring uniforms, the foundations wants to increase the number of pupils and limit the extent to which pupils drop out of school. In October 2007, 500 beautiful yellow uniforms were sewn by a local organization and handed over to the students. Click here for pictures of the event.
