Case Study

SUPPORTING NAGUM PRIMARY SCHOOL IN KENYA

Through the Saint-Gobain Initiatives Foundation, Saint-Gobain funded and provided technical expertise for the renovation of the Nagum Primary School located in Kenya.

A Saint-Gobain employee identified Nagum Primary School as needing help in 2014 and the foundation contributed to the complete refurbishment of four classrooms to replace former timber buildings.

Working alongside project leader France Kenya Sport Solidarité, the parties involved local economic, social and political stakeholders.

Local companies were consulted to perform the work under strict budgetary conditions.

The Saint-Gobain Initiatives Foundation funded the foundations and walls of the four classrooms, in which 370 pupils take turns for their lessons.
