The school is situated 50 km from Eldoret City and 10 km from the centre of closest township Iten, thus representing typical rural school in Western Kenya.
In the beginning of the project, Anin secondary school accommodated 325 children, equally boys and girls, 315 them stayed in the school dormitories over the whole semester. The school has 12 teachers. Nowadays Anin Sec School is only for girls.
School was established over 20 years ago and has developed her facilities rapidly since that showing good commitment of the community behind the school. In electricity supply the school was depended on a generator in 2007. Nevertheless, strong stress by the community has been addressed to have a permanent electricity line, agreed in memorandum of understanding to be prerequisite for full implementation of the project. In telephone connections the school depends on mobile phones of the headmaster and teachers. However, wireless technique recently made available also to rural areas will enable having access to permanent tele network of the country before starting implementation of the project. Nowadays, the school has dozens of computers, wifi, a high-level ICT teacher etc.
The Board of Governance (BoG), the body responsible of school, is highly committed to the project, and has already during the planning phase made considerable commitments in order to be included in the project. This commitment has been a major sacrifice to the community with limited resources demonstrating the priority of local parents to assure good education opportunities for their children.
