The windows have been fitted with metal grills for greater security.
You can also see below that work has started on the support structure for another water tank. The new toilets require much more water than the mop and bucket previously used! Next will be the installation of a generator so that we can still pump water despite power cuts. Imagine the furore if a large city in the UK went without power for a whole day at a time! Its a regular event in Mombasa where businesses and hotels all have their own generators.

Trustees Carol Groves and Shirley
Fisher returned to Unity School, Mombasa in January 2019. A supporter Jan
Watson also went with them.
During the last two years (thanks to
a generous legacy) a new building with 5 classrooms and toilet blocks has been under
construction. The new building, now complete and ready for the pupils to occupy,
had its official opening during our visit.
It was a very special day with celebrations all round. The pupils and teachers had a lovely meal,
thanks to the Contractor who picked up the bill. Dr Luke and his wife, plus the parents
association and someone from the educational department all took part in the
celebrations. It was a very special day
and one that we will never forget.

Carol’s Blog – 19th January 2019
We have had a busy few days in Mombasa and also at Unity School. We had a productive meeting with our Contractor who hands over the new building on Thursday, when we will have an official opening. The new classrooms are spacious and cool, and the new toilet blocks have 8 toilets and washbasins in the girls and boys blocks. Tomorrow we are taking 90 pupils, 8 teachers and us 3 to Fort Jesus for a school outing. We had a meeting with Dr Luke who looks after the medical care of all pupils and he and his wife will be attending the official opening. More soon.
