West Pokot, a region plagued by banditry, has seen its schools and learning centers scattered due to the resulting insecurity. This has left many young children without access to formal education due to distance, poverty, and the lack of centralized educational facilities. In response to this challenge, the Schools on the Wheels program was established to deliver quality education directly to remote, marginalized, and underserved communities in West Pokot. These mobile learning units are equipped with computers for digital learning, textbooks for the basic curriculum, and are powered by solar energy. They also feature comfortable seating with mats to accommodate growing student numbers. Designed by Sukuma Twende Trust, these units are easily transportable using a 3-wheeler bike (Tuktuk), enabling them to be moved to different locations within a community or region as needed. By providing a safe, engaging, and accessible learning environment, the Schools on the Wheels program aims to bridge the educational gap for students who may otherwise have limited access to educational resources.
