Announcement of Immediate Closure of Aids & Child Foundation Project at Marienga Primary School

Zurich, 27th of August 2016

The Aids & Child Foundation announces the immediate close down of the model project MWANGAZA at Rangwe, Homa Bay County, Nyanza to government officials, the hosting school, the beneficiaries, local staff and the Kenyan Implementor. The main drivers behind this painful decision are the repeated sabotage and abuse of MWANGAZA infrastructure and assets from within the community. In addtion, MWANGAZA became exposed to pre-electorally motivated political wrangling resulting in a potentially life-threatening situation for both local staff and beneficiaries. Furthermore, Marienga Primary School as the host of MWANGAZA project, failed A&C on more than 80 percent of their contractual duties.
