Description
My name is Benjamin Araule, one of the founder and manager of Rescue education centre, I have a family of five, my spouse is a teacher by profession, she teaches secondary school where by some of these vulnerable children are schooling, the centre is located in the north west part of Kenya in west pokot county few km from kapenguria municipality.
The centre was started in the year 2014 after realization of the rampant disadvantaged and vulnerable children in the community, the centre got 12 teaching staffs, 2 cooks, and 2 watchman, yet to be relocated after the change of Kenya school curriculum System, but Still in the centre payment.
The Centre objectives aim at changing lives of the vulnerable children who haven't meet the chance to experience the parental care and love, through education.
We have beautiful young orphan students who work hard for a new life style and knowledge to find the way. They have refused from early forced mariage and cattle rustling and some of them are from humble families.
They want to be tought in line of moral and all what can be given to meet their careers from all over the world and then be prepared to a place at the university. Don't hesitate to write to us at any given time you wanted to visit our rescue.
The Rescue centre at a time experience ups and downs in terms of basic needs like food and teachers token, here we look for fosters and government institution to cheap in for the purpose and objectives of the Centre to be met at long run, hence we have 19 families who foster some of the vulnerable and some others distributed to the Government schools for this reason to meet the basic needs, being monitored by the biometric data, during holiday they all come to the centre.
The worker water may get good time to drive to the schools and teach the children what they could and also have fan, play with them ,acrobatic play , tag of war and many others like having nature walk to some good places like Turkwel dam, Nasolot game reserve's , Soighbei waterfalls.
We also do agricultural farming activities which gives a certain percentage for sustainability of the rescue centre, we plant crops like onion, maize watermelon, beans for the children to use as food.
Worker wayer may at a time see the interest to exchange the knowledge and experience of farming in our centre for the purpose of the program sustainability we would take it positive.
The farming project is about 11 km away from town, which we can arrange with our double cub driver and the workers wayer there will take it as a tour and experience of cultural foods grown there.
Since we have good means of movement , the worker wayer may have good interest of visiting the mining areas like, Remes, Kalilwo, kasei, Turkwel and many other places, where by the worker wayer will experience on how locals used to get there daily bread by mining gold, he/she may have test to mine the gold, no restriction to do so we have the area as well , and if he/she has modern way of doing it then, the locals would be happier than anything else.
