Hillside Endarasha Academy school owner has come out to issue new directives to parents as the school prepares for Re-Opening after the tragic fire incident that claimed the lives of 21 pupils.
According to reports, David Kinyua, the school’s owner, revealed that the institution is making adjustments as it resumes operations, to not only avert tragedies but also make pupils comfortable.
This comes after the detectives handed the school back to the management after concluding their investigations with Kinyua noting that the boarding population would be cut from 330 to 195 students due to a lack of sufficient boarding facilities.

“We don’t have enough room for the boarders. We’ve decided that pupils living nearby will become day scholars so that we can accommodate a smaller number of boys,” the school owner said.
To parents, the school director noted that they should not worry about buying new items for their children because a committee has been formed to ensure all children affected are given everything free of charge.
“We have planned how the pupils will be given everything. All the way from the mattress, box, uniform, and shoes, so the children will come the way they left.”
Kinyua also said that he had asked all Hillside Endarasha parents to come for a prayer meeting on Monday where they will discuss the way forward, including reopening, for a smooth transition for the pupils after Re-Opening.
