Kipture Primary School Kitchen and Library Foundation
P.O.
Box 4184, Englewood, CO 80155
We want to thank everyone for their
donations during 2006! The library
has electricity thanks to DHL
shipping the BKB generator. The
computers are operational, the
books, and school supplies are now
all safely in the hands of the
children of Kipture Primary School.
Once again, Harry Hail, now a board
member of the foundation, made a
generous donation enabling the
kitchen to be built almost to
completion under the close
supervision of Peter Tanui's
brother, Joseph.
An additional and very generous
donation was made by Tom Ratcliffe
and his agency, KIMBIA Athletic
Management. These individual
contributions have literally put the
roof on the new kitchen!
Additionally, Mike Ducy, CEO of The
End Result Company, donated and is
hosting the new web site,
www.kiptureschool.org. This
selfless contribution will enable us
to continue to learn more and more
of the progress of the project!
As a matter of history, in January
of 2003, and again in February of
2005 several Americans went to Kenya
with Peter Tanui to visit his home,
Kapsabet Kenya. This is a
fairly remote and basic village,
with most of the 5,000 residents
without electricity or water, about
6 hours west of Nairobi.
Everyone fell in love with the
people and the culture. Before they
left on the first visit, the
framework for a Foundation was
sketched out. The simple goal was to
build a library and a kitchen for
the school.
With that almost a reality in three
years, our goal is to enhance both
buildings and to raise funds for the
electrification of the community
where the children reside.
Peter Tanui, a friend and graduate
of Kipture Primary School, is the
President of this Foundation and
lives most of each year in
Boulder, Colorado. He and
board member Andy McLean will take
new funds to Kenya at the end of
2006 and update all of us with
images and photos to chart the
progress!
