Nyota Ing’arayo Mombasa School
is now officially registered!
GVI have been working
with Precious Vision Care Centre since 2009, initially the project was more of
a care facility for children who were left on the streets without food, water
or shelter during the day. In 2010 GVI
enabled the Care Centre to move to larger premises which allowed for the class
sizes to grow and the inclusion of Kindergarten 1 to Standard 5. Due to a large amount of interest in the
project and previous volunteers donating to assist with the building of extra
classes Precious Vision Care Centre had classes up to Standard 7 by 2012.

Towards the end of last
year GVI along with the management of Precious Vision decided to re-register as
a Primary School instead of a Care Centre.
The main motivation behind this decision was that once the oldest class
reached Standard 8 and needed to sit their KCPE examinations, the school had to
be registered in order them to be able to sit this exam in their school.
The registration process
began in September 2012 and as more protocols were discovered and followed, GVI
and the partners realised that a different name for the school was necessary in
order to officially register as a educational establishment.A vote was held including student representations
from the older classes and the teachers to decide upon a new name. Nyota Ing’arayo Mombasa School was the
unanimous winner, the registration wheels were set in motion…Ten months later, after
filling in many forms and completing and sending all the necessary paperwork to
Nairobi, the registration is complete and Nyota Ing’arayo Mombasa School
is now officially registered!
