Many such schools are also sponsored by a church, but this does not bring much financial aid either, and so the 1500 that project workers bring can have a siginificant impact on the school's development. Nyakorere is a small village in central Kisii by the River Kuja, with a primary and a secondary school, a community coffee factory, a small market and a few shops. Due to a recent earthquake part of the road has collapsed and so no matatu service exists. The secondary school has a total of 110 pupils in the four forms, ranging in age from 14 to 23 years. Each form has its own classroom, but the staff area is extremely cramped.
Desks are inadequate, seating two pupils each and with no storage space.
There is also a basic science laboratory and small library, but both are poorly stocked - in the case of textbooks most subjects have only two books per form. It is in the south of Kisii District and close to the border with Maasailand, resulting in frequent tribal skirmishes. This SDA secondary school was founded in the early 1970s and has grown considerably since then. It has sufficient buildings, and in recent years the Link Africa project has seen the beginnings of a library, stocking of the science laboratory and provision of desks and chairs for all students. The school is well run, though like most in the area suffers enormously with non-payment of school fees.
