On November 2nd, 2026, a torrential storm hit Muhuru Bay in Migori County. Heavy downpours accompanied by destructive winds swept across the area, damaging vital infrastructure. Among the most severely affected was the WISER Girls Secondary School campus, where roofs were torn off, perimeter walls collapsed, window panes shattered, and essential facilities including the agriculture store, furniture, solar panels, and water supply infrastructure were heavily damaged.
This disaster struck at a critical juncture, right in the middle of national KCSE examinations and amidst preparations to welcome incoming Grade 10 learners.
While the destruction was severe, we hold onto one profound relief: there were no injuries, and our students and staff remain safe.
Beyond Buildings: Protecting Futures
WISER Girls has long served as a beacon of hope and empowerment for vulnerable young women in Muhuru Bay. While the storm took down roofs and walls, it has not shaken the spirit, ambition, and determination of our girls.
To ensure that our students can focus on their education in safe, dignified, and conducive spaces, we must rebuild swiftly. Restoring classrooms, essential facilities, and perimeter security requires immediate collective action.
