A local preacher visited Turkana in 2003.  When he went to Akatuman, which is the heart of Turkana, he felt lead to build a school.  The residents of Turkana had no education at all.  The population was 100% illiterate. Wink McLeod eventually built that school in the Turkana in 2008 in memory of her daughter, Maggie McLeod.

​

Since the school opened, serving less than 100 students in one classroom, many improvements have been made.  There are now eight classrooms, a pavilion, two wells, solar power has been installed including a solar powered farm, a gated fence, uniforms, two meals a day, and many more ongoing endeavors to enhance the education of the children in this remote area.

 

Through fundraisers and generous donations, a kitchen with a large range will be built this year. We have supplied students with medical and dental attention, uniforms, textbooks and supplies, soccer balls, goal posts, new bathrooms, desks, hygiene products, and a protective fence.
