A Glimpse Into the Lives of Muhuru Bay Primary School Students
WISERBridge
The GOAL…Raise KCPE Scores in Muhuru Bay
from a 193 Average to a 275 Average
Currently, 0nly 5% of girls in Muhuru attend high school.
Last year, only 3 girls in all of Migori District (inclusive of 2,000 girls) earned a 400 score or higher; no girl in Muhuru scored a 400.
The average score of girls in Muhuru was a 181 on the January Baseline Exam; the average score of boys was a 202.
We want 100% of all girls in WISER to come from the local community!
We want ALL students in Muhuru to succeed!

WISERBridge students
Muhuru Bay is making it happen…
By the end of the first term in March of 2009…
Students improved a 193
average to a 230 average
between January and
March.
Girls in Muhuru increased
overall 38 points from the
baseline exam from a 181 to
a 219 average.
Girls at 7 out of 10 schools
incurred at least 35 points
of growth.
6 of the 10 primary schools
improved over 41 points.
In fact…
WISERBridge is predicting
that about 5 girls from
Muhuru will receive a 400
average by November. This
is significant because last
year, NO girl from Muhuru
Bay received a 400 average,
and only 3 girls in all of
Migori District (about 2,000
girls) received a 400
average or higher.
Thanks to the Goldman Sachs Global Leaders’ Program…(and it’s support of WISERBridge…)
The path to secondary school is much smoother than the roads of Muhuru Bay.
And the opportunities are endless…
