CHANGE IS COMING
INTRODUCTION
Being at the service of anyone in difficulty is the commitment that our association has had since its birth in 2008, and this is the constant of my great work.
My goal is therefore to help children to study, men and women to work, the elderly to live peacefully and communities to have a prosperous future.
Fate brought me to a small village lost in the savannah and there I put down my roots and all of myself.
The village is called Chakama, it is located in Kilifi County in Kenya and the nearest town is Malindi which is about 70 km away. It is located on the banks of the Galana River and a few km from Tsavo East National Park, one of the largest parks in Kenya.
The Community, at my request, told me what their priority was, the Schools, and I immediately got to work.
Thus was born the nursery school, which includes two classes, and the PRIMARY school, which has 8 classes, as indicated by the old course of studies established by the Ministry of Education. In fact today there are only six.
The additional structures added are two water reserves, one drinkable thanks to the connection with the Mawasco distributor and one taken from the river thanks to a system of pumps and pipes, then collected in a large tank containing 10,000 liters and finally purified with chlorine and used mainly for irrigation but also for domestic use.
Finally, many other small works created for farmers.
I finally donated these schools to the Government and am now working on the second phase of my initial project.
This is an innovative project to bring all African citizens, in my case Kenyans, to manage their own future as real protagonists and not as extras.
INCLUSION
The world is changing very quickly and, perhaps, it is time to review our way of thinking and also of living, naturally only where necessary.
Education, for example, is the basis for the development of all knowledge, it is the forge for opening and nourishing young minds from every part of the world and projecting them into life in search of the most coveted goals.
The educational method, therefore, must be renewed with a practice that abandons secular traditionalism to adopt a "dynamic" type of education, that is, suitable for every type of situation.
Meanwhile, the first important thing to establish is that "all children have the right to free education"
It is a duty of the State and/or Industry, Foundations or others to take care of the costs. In fact, it will certainly be in these areas that young people will then work.
The second important point concerns teaching, that is, what to teach students so that they are ready to seriously face the world of work already at the age of 18.
Therefore, basic general knowledge must be exhausted by the 13th year of age and then move on to substantive subjects in the following 5 years.
This path is for everyone and is especially useful for those who live in rural areas where there is a greater need for work that can bear immediate fruit as soon as the basic school course is completed.
Finally, an important principle concerns "merit" which must be rightly rewarded, giving the most deserving students the opportunity to continue their specialization studies at universities or technical institutes.
Even more so in this case, the support is through scholarships.
INNOVATION
The primary principle and pride of this innovative school is to develop the knowledge, thinking, determination, character and main aptitudes of each of its students to the maximum. The attitude of the professors must be serious but not authoritarian and, from the height of their position, they must encourage the growth of every student, even the most rebellious, before definitively deciding their unsuitability for their studies.
For this reason, the teachers themselves will choose their students after taking a pre-enrolment exam for the courses.
This is necessary because working on smart children means making the most of their path, facilitating teaching and making their academic journey as long as possible.
But teachers will also have to demonstrate their ability to guide students. Not only that but being able to explain your subject with great passion, that is, in the simplest and most understandable way.
Those who manage to complete the cycle of this school will certainly be able to face their life in the best possible way because they will always have many open doors. And teachers will also grow in experience, in their ability to relate to students.
The most important subjects that are taught in Secondary are:
1-Kiswahili
2-English then developed in the courses of the Technical Institute
3-Mathematics-Geometry
4-Informatics then developed in the courses of the Technical Institute
5-Agriculture then developed in the courses of the Technical Institute
6-Science-Anatomy and Mechanical Physics
The complementary subjects are:
1-.History (Egypt-Greece-Rome-Africa)
2-Physical Geography-World Map
3-Economics then developed in the courses of the Technical Institute
4- Music- Notes on Philosophy-Documentaries-Films-News from the world.
5-Italian then developed in the courses of the Technical Institute
To be admitted to the school, students must be of the right age and pass a simple preliminary exam; the subjects they must prepare for are:
1-Mathematics
2-Theme in the main language
3-Swahili-English version
4-Intelligence Test
Students can come from all over Kenya, they have their own accommodation and also 3 main meals, all at the expense of KARIBU ONLUS
The courses are also free until the last exam. Karibu issues students an official diploma with ministerial certification which includes the report of all the years, the courses attended and the final evaluation
Students will have to take turns to take care of the cleaning of the accommodation and, always in turn, carry out the canteen service.
Karibu will give each newly arrived student a Conduct Manual to be respected throughout the entire period of stay in Kibora.
The rules will be serious to accustom the kids to a life model that will be important for the rest of their lives.
The students selected for the first year will be a minimum of 20, a maximum of 26, depending on the admission requests and the results of the preliminary exam.
To be admitted you must achieve a 75% overall score in the exam tests
There will be 6 classes built 2 per year.
There will be 6 laboratories at the Technical Institute and they will be built together with the classes, 2 per year
Teachers and students will both have their own Committee and Karibu Onlus will build two rooms for them, the Teachers' Council and the Students' Council, which will be used for all types of meetings.
The Teachers Committee is made up of the School Director and all the teachers.
The Students Commettee will begin its work at the beginning of Grade 10 studies and is made up of the 9 best students chosen directly by the teachers.
This committee is free to organize meetings to discuss issues relating to school life and the Center and must each time deliver a report with the conclusions to the Teachers' Committee which will take note of them and give its opinion on the matter.
This is to stimulate and accustom young students to expressing their thoughts on every occasion and with the respect due to everyone.
Students must pass each grade to always obtain the scholarship.
Those who fail to pass one year have the possibility of repeating the year but without the subsidy of the scholarship
Study. If he passes the year he will still be entitled to the scholarship but will never have the opportunity to repeat the year again and will have to leave school in the event of a second failure.
To make life within the center more pleasant and constructive, the School will organize physical and artistic activities, tournaments and trips for all students. Tournaments are sports competitions and also competitions that involve the use of strategic board games and tests to measure intelligence.

CAMERATE
Saranno costruite come quelle militari da campo, avranno 24 letti all'inizio divisi in due blocchi da 12 letti a castello e saranno separati dai bagni.
Anche gli insegnanti avranno i loro alloggi, ugualmente separati, fra maschi e femmine, dal gruppo di bagni.
Ogni giorno 7 studenti a turno per una settimana saranno addetti alla pulizia delle camerate ma tutti gli studenti, prima di lasciare il dormitorio per iniziare i corsi, devono sistemare il letto e tutte le proprie cose negli appositi armadietti muniti di lucchetti.
Per la pulizia delle stanze degli insegnanti invece saranno a disposizione un paio di persone dipendenti del Kibora Kampus Center.
FAST FOOD
È il servizio di ristorazione a disposizione per tutti.
Serve la colazione (Self Service), il pranzo e la cena mentre il servizio bar è sempre aperto.
Il personale è composto da gente della Comunità di Kibora.
Anche in questo caso 7 studenti e per settimana saranno incaricati dei servizi prima e dopo ogni pasto.
FISHING POND
Consiste in 4 forme quadrate di 20x20 metri e profonde 1,25 metri.
Al suo interno verrà allevato un pesce, la Tilapia.
Il ricambio di acqua avviene ogni settimana per garantire un'ottima ossigenazione. L'acqua sarà prelevata dal fiume Galana e scaricata di nuovo nel fiume grazie ad un sistema di pompe e griglie, utili per impedire l'entrata di rifiuti dal fiume e l'uscita dei pesci nello scarico dell'acqua.
Il letto del lago potrebbe essere coibentato a seconda della qualità e della tenuta del terreno.
Le persone adibite alla cura e alla manutenzione sono di Kibora.
Chiunque potrà accedere al lago per pescare ma a determinate condizioni stabilite da Karibu.
AGORÀ-COMMUNITY HALL
It is the meeting point of the entire Chakama Community.
Any type of meeting regarding community life will be organized here.
Just to give an example:
Emergency meetings

Resource management meetings
Holiday gathering
Religious meetings
Political meetings
Evenings dedicated to the cinema
Evenings dedicated to sport on TV
FISHING POND
It consists of 4 square shapes measuring 20x20 meters and 1.25 meters deep.
A fish, the Tilapia, will be raised inside.
The water is changed every week to ensure excellent oxygenation. The water will be taken from the Galana river and discharged back into the river thanks to a system of pumps and grates, useful for preventing waste from entering the river and fish from exiting the water drain.
The lake bed could be insulated depending on the quality and tightness of the soil.
The people responsible for care and maintenance are from Kibora.
Anyone will be able to access the lake to fish but under certain conditions established by Karibu.
NURSERY (GARDENS AND PLANTS)
A large space managed by two gardeners who, with the help of the students themselves, will have the task of planting fruit trees and vegetables of all kinds for use by the center's guests, but, if the harvests are abundant, the excess will be sold and the proceeds will go into the coffers of the Karibu Center.
The gardeners' work also involves taking care of the fence and all the flowers and plants that will embellish the center.
The presence of students is the technical part of the theoretical course reserved for Agriculture.
TRANSPORT
A bus will be available not only to the Center but also to the entire community.
Do:
a morning and afternoon service for local students who live far away.
A daily service to Malindi and return for community use with delivery and collection service for goods of any kind except animals.
Weekend trips to Tsavo and/or the sea and to the characteristic places of the coastal area for students and teachers.
A Double Cabin pick-up will be used for any type of emergency, mainly first aid.
ADMINISTRATION
An office within the Community Hall will be reserved for General Administration.
In this office, 3 employees will record all outgoing and incoming money flows, registrations, employee organization and relations with sponsors.
Another employee will check the correct use of the ATM.
This office depends on the General Management office of which Mr Julius Fikirini is responsible.
Every student, every teacher and every employee with access to Kampus will have a card to use the following services:
Bus to Malindi
Catering
Laundry
The card is free for everyone and its use is exclusively at a statistical and administrative level.
It will be given to everyone at the beginning of their admission into the Kampus.
It is a personal card and cannot be used by anyone else.
It must be kept and returned at the end of the study cycle by both students and teachers.
SERVICES
A laundry that everyone can use, especially on Saturdays and Sundays.
A small ironing shop
8 shops of various kinds available to anyone. The 8 stores could be MPesa, Hairdresser, Barber, Stationary, Dispensary, Hardware, Cleaning Services and Fashion. It will be equipped with an ATM at the entrance for withdrawing cash by credit card.
Water and energy thanks to generators and photovoltaic panels according to needs.
Permanent guard service
SPORT
An equipped football pitch, one for basketball and one for volleyball. A very famous Italian football club in the world will support us through its Official Fan Club in managing the village team with all its experience.
The field will also be available to schools.
NESH
NEVER ENDING STORY HOUSE
Elderly care project.
It is the final act of a project that started with childhood and will end with care for the elderly.
It is the structure that I love most, the one in which there are those who arrive to face life and those who leave, after having faced life, to enjoy the promised rest. It is the structure where you can breathe the infinite meaning of life.
Therefore, an area dedicated to the lonely, poor, sick and terminally ill elderly who will be assisted with loving care until their death.
The area is made up of small accommodations gathered in the shape of a circle close to the small lake connected to the Management and Reception Center
The accommodations are collected in 4 blocks, each containing 8 cottages for a total of 64 guests and will be built, block by block, over 5 years.
Elderly people can come from any other part of KENYA.
Everything is free and subsidized by sponsors and private donors.

IMPORTANT
While waiting to obtain an interview with KENYA POWER for the supply of electricity, we will use a generator that develops sufficient power to give light to the entire Kampus.
WHY SPONSOR
The first benefit of the sponsor is to participate in a new course of school education in Africa, closer and more coherent to the times.
This allows you to apply marketing campaigns that can develop your market or cutting edge and cutting edge means being conceptually ahead and anticipating or proposing changes in society.
This project is open and devoted to the future and emancipation, therefore to the production of new products designed for this purpose.
For example, a bank can imagine, in addition to the classic scholarship, a new type of savings for students by establishing a course at our school to explain the value of money in detail, starting from the ATM. The same goes for other types of commercial sponsors.
Participating in the development of an innovative project in a rural area means coming into close contact with thousands of people who would otherwise be unattainable. It means opening a new market. By participating in our project, the sponsor enters a forge full of minds to shape and prepare for the future.
Finally, it is also useful to remember that, if this new school system achieves the desired success, the possibility of opening other schools opens up in all rural areas of Kenya. The future is not that far away and we need to prepare in time so as not to be left behind. Not keeping up with the times just means still giving space and primacy to foreign companies.
Payments for the most demanding sponsorships will be paid in annual installments.

REBIRTH OF A CHILD IN KENYA only asks for some important clauses to be inserted to be evaluated together.
The drafting of the contract is the right of the sponsor.
The payment of funds is not upon signing the contract but of the "working progress" type based on the annual table already prepared. So an advance upon signing and annual installments.
The sponsor can also decide to pay all the funds upon signing the contract, in this case he benefits from a 10% discount on the amount.
