Galana River School Project e.V.
Since 2014 we have been building a school in the Mwanza village community on the Galana River in Kenya. Today around 240 children attend this state-recognised school – but there are still far too few classrooms and teacher houses, so we keep on building.
Mwanza is a four-hour drive from the nearest town and the nearest doctor. Alongside the school, we therefore support the training of people who will later serve the community as craftspeople, mechanics or in healthcare, and we are planning to build a health clinic.
Our association, based in Biberach (Baden, Germany), was founded in 2021 and funds the work on the ground. Projects are implemented by our Kenyan partner NGO MICODEP – members of our team spend a large part of the year in Kenya themselves.
