After a big mess, I finally got the recipes for the rooms we bought from Destiny. To make a long story short, we had to get different rooms than the ones we planned to buy. These are a bit smaller, but quite expensive. The fact that we had to pay 20.000 kes for Logistics was a bit surprising and I don't really understand what that is. There is almost always a problem with corruption. You have to pay someone to get the right to buy a room. Technically it is a bribe. Kenya is famous for being very corrupted and it's sad that even in the slums there are money changing hands during a simple transaction. I'm not sure that that is what this is, but I need to investigate further. We did not buy land, we just purchased the rooms so that is also a bit confusing.
The next step is to find out what it will cost to do basic renovations and to buy desks and blackboards. I think that the only way to buy rooms for the school is to look at what you're buying and ask yourself if you think it's worth it, even if you know that some money goes to other things. This is also the only way we can follow up. Look at the cost and what you got for the money we put in and see that it's really there after the constructions or renovations and then report it to the donors.
