Ongoing Projects

LPK continues to grow and expand thanks to donations from contributors and sponsors. This page features details on projects that have helped our women lead stable and healthy lives. It also shows a glimpse at the exciting future that lies ahead for LPK.

WEEP Centre

As LPK continues to grow, so do our goals. We want to enrol more and more women into WEEP. The waiting list for women looking to enrol continues to grow. We have purchased some farmland so that we can construct a WEEP Centre. We hope to accommodate up to 30 women at a time.

What we want to do:

As LPK continues to grow, so do our goals. We are proud of all of the women that enter into our program; however we want to enroll more and more women into WEEP. The waiting list for women looking to enroll continues to grow. Unfortunately, our rented office location can only accommodate so many women. That is why we have purchased some farmland so that we can construct a WEEP Centre. We hope to be able to accommodate up to 30 women at a time in our new centre.

The improved facilities will give us the room to offer women additional courses and workshops, such as hairdressing, IT, and baking. These new and exciting courses will lead to new and exciting business opportunities.

The centre will also be a great source of additional income for the program. Not only will it save us 40, 000 KES on office rental costs every month, but we will also be able to offer our courses and workshops to women outside of our program who are looking to learn some new skills.

WEEP Village

Of course, if we increase the number of women enrolled in our program, then we will also have to increase the number of available accommodations that we provide to our women. Our goal is to construct permanent buildings where our women and their families can live on several floors.

What we want to do:

In the lead-up to graduation from WEEP class every year, our women are both nervous and excited as they prepare to continue their businesses independently outside of the class environment at LPK.

Even after the women graduate, though, we endeavour to continue supporting them and ensure that they survive and thrive. As graduation nears, we prepare to transition the women to their semi-permanent housing in the WEEP Village. They are meant to live in the village rent-free for up to four years. The four years are a stabilization and growth phase.

The women are encouraged to take advantage of the microfinance option offered to them during their graduation to buy land and expand their businesses. After four years, the women should be stable in their businesses and have finished paying off the loans they took out to buy land.

Of course, if we increase the number of women enrolled in our program at our new WEEP Centre, then we will also have to increase the amount of available accommodations that we provide to our women. At the moment, we have two WEEP villages where we house WEEP graduates. Our goal is to construct permanent buildings where our women and their families can live on several floors.

Greenhouse

The LPK farm currently houses the four pools of fish for our fish farm project, as well as 1, 300 chickens. Our next goal is to raise enough money to construct a greenhouse on the farm so that we can provide our women with additional sources of nutrition and income.

Salama School

At the moment, Salama consists of three pre-school classrooms and a daycare. We would like to construct several daycare classrooms so that we can support more families. We also want to build a kitchen, dining hall, and an additional floor to the pre-school building for primary classes.

What we want to do:

At the moment, Salama School consists of three pre-school classrooms and a daycare. While we are happy that we are able to provide for so many of the children in our community, our vision for Salama School is much greater.

We would like to construct several daycare classrooms so that we can support more families. We also want to build a kitchen and dining hall so that the students can eat a healthy lunch in a clean and healthy environment. Lastly, we would like to add an additional floor to the pre-school building to make room for primary classrooms. This way, we can continue to provide for the children after they finish pre-school.

Salama Home

We would like to construct a safe haven for the children of the women in WEEP so that they don’t need to be sent to boarding schools. Instead, children will attend Salama School and take a school bus to Salama Home in the evening. This way, they can be closer to their mothers.

What we want to do:

Thanks to all of our wonderful sponsors, so many of our children have been able to get an education by attending private boarding schools. They are sent to boarding schools to get their education so that their sick mothers can stay at home, and with the help of LPK, focus on getting better.

The next step for us now is to construct a safe haven for these children so that they no longer need to be sent to boarding schools. Instead, children will be able to attend Salama School in the morning, and then take a school bus to Salama Home in the evening. This way, they can be closer to their mothers.
