One of the biggest success stories of the Malindi Integrated Social Health Development Project (MISHDP) is Ngomeni Secondary School with a total of 14 classrooms constructed by CDA no mean feat. Since the project’s inception, CDA has played a transformative role in the school’s growth. In Phase I, CDA constructed eight classrooms, an administration block, four science laboratories, a computer laboratory and a library. As enrolment increased, Phase II delivered four additional classrooms, a boys’ dormitory, and a multipurpose hall. The project also introduced scholarship and mentorship programmes that continue to empower students and expand their opportunities. Today, Ngomeni Secondary School stands as a powerful testament to how strategic investment in education can transform lives and uplift communities. #TransformingLives #MISHDP #EducationForAll #CDAImpact #Magarini #KilifiCounty #EmpoweringYouth #CoastDevelopmentAuthority #malindi
