St. Mary’s Nyabiore Secondary School in Kisii County is currently facing an acute water shortage, a situation that might affect the girls’ performance as they prepare to sit KCSE in November this year.
According to the school Principal Donah Change, the students spend a lot of time going to look for water since it is a basic necessity, which affects their studies and concentration in class.
Apart from the water shortage, the principal noted that the institution’s population is ever growing, leading to overstretching of the learning facilities and stress on the learners who scramble for space in the congested classrooms and dormitories.
