Our Lady of Annunciation Primary School in Ndekero village has a capacity for 350 children but currently has only 200 students. Many villagers are unable to pay school fees and/or related schooling costs for their children. As a charity and private school, it gets no support from the Kenyan Government.

The purpose of the rabbit-fish farm is to generate a regular income. The farm and income will provide opportunities and development of activities that will lead to reduced school drop outs and increase enrolment at the primary school.

2009 - test site

Jan-June 2010

Test site (27 m2) for 4 weaned rabbits in an open vegetated enclosure and a double fence of chick wire. 3 of 4 weaned rabbits were found dead one day. The cause was unknown. As there were no signs of physically injury, we ruled out the cause of predation by an animal.
