This section describes the objectives set by St Bridget Self-Help Group as far as education is concerned. The challenges faced by the community are described in the following articles.
Look at Interview of Francis Kimende Musyoki answering questions about ST BRIDGET GROUP AND NURSERY SCHOOL
The mission of St Briget Self-Help Group is to find solutions to these problems and challenges, among which :
- Lack of financing (more funds are needed to develop and extend school infrastructures);
- Lack of school equipment and furniture;
- Scattered housing environment (pupils have to walk long distances (2 to 10 km) to go to primary school);
- Poverty and famine (most of Yenzuva sub-location inhabitants are farmers subjected to irregular rainfalls and harvests);
- High number of orphans;
- Lack of practice of English and Kiswahili, the official languages (only spoken at school).
Aware of these weaknesses and difficulties, the founder members of St Bridget Self-Help Group undertook in :
- Build up school infrastructures close to families living far from Yenzuva Primaty School so as to increase school registration and attendance among young children;
- Open a nursery school to enable young children to join school before primary education (the aim is to encourage children to learn and speak English as early as possible);
- Set up a progressive school fees system that could give every child, including orphans, the chance to go to school;
- Build up infrastructures (dining hall, dormitories, etc.) necessary to accommodate pupils on the compound;
- Provide the pupils with three meals a day;
- Provide pupils and teachers of the nursery school with computer facilities so that children can learn how to use a computer from the age of 4;
- Set up a partnership with Yenzuva Secondary School to give secondary school students an access to computer facilities.

The Challenges of Education for All in Yenzuva
Tuesday 15 September 2009 by
Education as Priority : The Challenges of Education for All in Yenzuva
For more than ten years, the community of Yenzuva has committed itself to addressing these two issues.
Give Every Child a Chance to Go to Nursery and Primary School
Community members are mostly concerned by late schooling and the quite low attendance in primary school, which has several causes and sometimes huge consequences on children’s future.
More than 800 pupils aged from 6 to 15 years are going to Yenzuva Primary School (YPS), which opened in the early 1980’s. But in this rural area mainly populated by farmers, many children living far from YPS don’t go to school, either because they are too young to walk long distances, or because their presence is needed at home for farm work.
