When the State sought for land to construct a dam to supply water to Eldoret town in 1997, residents of Chebara in Elgeyo Marakwet heeded the call after they were promised that in return, five learning institutions would be constructed for them.

In 2012, the construction of Chebara Boys and Girls secondary schools, Chebara and Kaptomut primary schools and Chebara Vocational Training Centre, as well as Chebara African Inland Church, were started at the total cost of Sh635 million.
