A pilot scheme village which is under Millennium Development village s, the Sauri cluster lies in Yala Division, Siaya District Nyanza province, 50km a way from Ugunja town, the community isn't happy with the way money is being handled.

However Joyce Mboya, a social services community development member, says that, when the money comes they only hear of the money but the community doesn't really see what is done with the money as the community is never involved.

‘Poverty level at this Millennium village (Sauri) I still at a worse end. Some of the homes are still at the level of poverty and one cannot just believe that it's within Sauri Millennium village’, she added.

The parents of bar Sauri primary school, still cannot contribute the percentage of money needed at school for the feeding programme. One of the pupils who have paid kshs 300 for feeding programmes who are allowed to eat in school.

Girls between ages 15yrs and a above are very happy with the project as they receive packets of sanitary towels every three months, something most of them could not afford.

‘Before the project introduced pads at school, I used to used to cut clothes during my monthly periods and sometimes I could give excuse not to go to school for getting leakage and boys who don't understand could laugh at me. Embarrassing, you know?’ says Zipporah Anyango a standard six pupil at bar Sauri primary school.
