Construction at KEMPS

For more than two years, the boys at KEMPS have made do with very limited toilet facilities. Previously there were outdoor pit latrines on the hill near the boys' dormitory.  Several years ago they collapsed during a school holiday and have been unusable.  This is soon to change.

 Thanks to gifts from St. Luke's Lutheran Church and many other donors, the building of the boys' latrine has begun again.  The rubble was removed from the old pit, the foundations rebuilt, and a new building was constructed in a new design that promises to be much more stable.  Last week the roof was added, an important step during the rainy season of April and May.  We are waiting for doors and the finishing touches before the new latrines are ready for use.
