In June of 1999, after the formation of the Kenya Educational Sponsorship Program by the Fountain Baptist Church and the student’s enrollment increased to 225, now in 2003, there are 752 Primary students. In October 2000, a school truck was purchased to transport the children and parents to the local hospital 20 miles away. In November 2000, Solar powered lights were purchased to provide electricity for increase the knowledge basis of the teachers via a TV and VCR and improve the skills of the children via educational videos. In December 2000, the ministry became to support 147 Secondary School (High school) and Two University students. In February of 2001 the school administration managed the truck so well that they were able to purchase a Solar Power system for the African Brotherhood Church, now the word of God is being shared nightly at Bible Study.
In 2000, the Parent’s Association has increased from 12 to over 75 participating parents. This Ministry encouraged the parents so, that in July of 2000, the Parents’ Association built, a new kitchen more desks, chairs, and tables for the school, increased the school buildings from three (3) to eight (8), added 4 additional lavatories, and a volleyball court.
