Pupils swim across River Lusumu in Mumias to get to school

Imagine starting your academic year by taking a swim to school? Well, it’s become a norm for some school children in Mumias East, Kakamega County. This, after the makeshift bridge they were using was washed away in December by floods, forcing them to swim across river Lusumu to get to school. The school children, parents and teachers now want a lasting solution from the government.
