A school in the wild where learners sit on stones and learn under trees

While pupils in other schools wonder when the government will provide them with laptops , Pupils in Nachurur primary school in Tiaty have more worries than the laptops

Baringo, Kenya: There are no classrooms. There are no desks. But there are many children at Nachurur Primary School in Tiaty, Baringo County, dying to get an education — the only thing that can help them wriggle out of the grinding poverty they were born into.

It is a few minutes past noon and the last lesson just before the lunch break is in progress at a little-known school in Tiaty Constituency. While other Class One pupils may be wondering when the government will bring the free laptops promised, pupils in this school have more grave worries. They have no classes, desks, black boards, chairs, and their biggest headache is the snakes.
