By Lily, Melat and Bonnie


Where is it?
• Madogo is a village neighbouring Garissa, the main town of Kenya's
North Eastern Province. 
• It is a hot, dry, isolated and very poor area.
• It is 9 hours drive from Nairobi, which is the capital city.
• Because it is so close to Garissa town, the area has:
- Good communication facilities
- Decent roads
- Clean water
- Electricity
Education
• Education is a major challenge in Madogo
• Since independence the community has not produced a
single university graduate.
• However, it is hoped that several campaigns will raise
awareness about the importance of education.
• Students who attend Madogo Secondary school are
incredibly dedicated to their education, with many
travelling from hundreds of miles away.
• The local community began the school in 1984 as a self
help project.
