Besides the fact that most of the classrooms designed to accommodate 50 students hold more than 100, the students use sacks as desks. The old rugged sacks are carefully locked up in a cupboard after school, waiting to serve another eight hours the next day. “These sacks are used to package the maize and beans given by the school feeding programme. Some students cannot afford school sweaters and those are even more at risk,” explains one learner in Kiswahili.
