Why 'Harambee'?

'Harambee' was chosen for the project name as in Swahilli (one of the official languages in Kenya) it literally means "all pull together". We felt this was an appropriate name for the project in recognition of our working together with our Kenyan friends at the School and the Oloolua Parish Church.

Why the St Andrew's School?

The project follows on from Project Stedfast which the 56th was involved in. The aims of Project Stedfast was to raise funds to help the Boys' and Girls' Brigades of Oloolua Parish Church in Ngong, Kenya, to establish a school and residential centre for children with disabilities.

Where is the St Andrew's School?

The school is located in Ngong, south west of Nairobi.
