Kenya West - JoyValley Primary School
JoyValley started in 1993 with 35 pupils with the purpose
to start a school that provides the pupils with opportunities to:
-Enjoy
learning and develop desire to continue learning
-Acquire
literacy, creativity and communication skills
-Develop
ability for critical thinking and local judgment
-Develop
into self disciplined , physically fit and healthy people
-Develop
aesthetic values and appreciate own and other people's culture
The following issues motivated the establishment of
JoyValley:
-The
children could not walk to school and back because of disabilities that left
them only able to crawl. This made some children fearful and some were getting
hurt trying to crawl to school.
-Often
times children with disabilities are kept in the house as their parents are
ashamed of them.
-Many
parents have not been well educated on how to love and handle a child with a
disability.
