Blackrock College · Kenya Outreach · July 2027

Building a school in Marigat, Kenya.

In July 2027 a team of Blackrock College students will travel to Marigat in Kenya’s Rift Valley to help build a school. Every euro raised between now and then goes towards giving local children a safe place to learn.

The project

A school, built together.

Marigat is a town in Baringo County, in the heart of Kenya’s Rift Valley. [Add a sentence or two about the community and why a new school is needed — for example, how far children currently walk, or how many share a classroom.]

Working alongside the local community, our students will help build [describe the building: number of classrooms, toilets, a water tank, etc.]. Alongside the build, they’ll bring boots, sports equipment, medical supplies and other essentials donated here at home.

The outreach is made possible by our students, their families and the wider Blackrock College community — and by supporters like you.
