A post on the Mustard Seed Project Instagram page read:
"The building is finished! The children are back to school. Seven years since the first phase was built!
"A huge thank you to everyone who has made this dream a reality. Special thanks to Jude Bellingham for his support completing the final phase.
"The children are now all in this building. There are still a few things to do which are of course so much more difficult now that the children are back.
"Covid was a catastrophe of course but it did mean that the builders could get on with work in the school and final touches are taking much longer.
"We are just so excited and disappointed that we cannot go out to Kenya to see it. Roll on the vaccinations!"
