The Rotary Club of Diani handed over part of its project at Mwachema Comprehensive School in February. This is part of a bigger project that includes a perimeter wall, a permanent water source with a water tower, a four-door girls' toilet block and a four-door boys' toilet block.
Speaking at the handover ceremony in Tiwi, Club President Winnie Wanzetse fondly remembered how the Club started the journey on the Mwachema Project in 2023 and had gone through the arduous journey of sourcing for the funds with which to see the project through. In true Rotary spirit, RC Diani had adopted the institution and would continue to add value to the school even in the coming years, she said.
"Several times the process stopped but ultimately we have been able to push forward and are starting to see some of the fruits ripening,’’ President Wanzetse said. ``It is a great honor to hand over the project to its rightful owners today!’’

Past Presidents Vickram Korla and Gertrude Mwendah expressed their joy on the completion of the project, lauding the efforts put in by club members to see the project through. Also present at the event were other members of Rotary Club of Diani.
Mwachema’s Head of Institution Bwana Saidi Shee deeply appreciated the Rotary Club of Diani. The project had raised the school's profile and added a feather to his cap, an honour he would be carrying into his retirement in a few years.
His sentiments were echoed by Madam Bibi Dago who said: "Before we had the perimeter wall, it was difficult to control the children as they could leave the school any time they pleased. Right now, once they come in for school, we can keep them here and maintain discipline until evening when they leave.’’
Madam Florence, a former teacher at the school, came to celebrate the event saying it was like a dream come true to see the facilities they prayed about come to reality. Other leaders: Parent-Teachers Association Chair, Board of Management Chair, village elder, area chief and an official from the County Education Office appreciated the value added to the school by the Rotary Club of Diani.
