“A new school kitchen and all-purpose dining hall were completed at mang'uliro secondary school. This combined structure replaced a health hazard kitchen and provides a sheltered space for high school student dining and assembly. Previously, students assembled in the hot sun, had no shared, sheltered space to eat lunch and cooking was done in smoky, unhealthy, and non-ventilated quarters. Joining hearts and hands, ltd. Encourages collaboration with local school communities. In january 2020, new school dining hall furniture, tables and chairs were provided in a joint effort. The mang'uliro school community provided 25% and joining hearts and hands, ltd. Provided 75% of the funds to purchase the furniture. In january 2020, joining hearts and hands, ltd. Returned to kenya to examine completed projects and review progress on current initiatives. Meetings were held with school committees, scholarship students and community members. 182 students from kenya and tanzania were awarded primary and secondary school tuition and school fee scholarships. Each of these students lived in impoverished rural conditions, many of them orphans with strong academic promise and little financial resources. All students started classes in january 2020. Joining hearts and hands, ltd. Has partnered with schools in kenya and tanzania over the past 16 years. Due to covid closings, there were teachers and staff at two locations without support.

This was accomplished successfully in may 2020 in tanzania at our lady of usambara girls' secondary school and june 2020 in kericho, kenya at the kacece primary school.”
