Students Accomodation

  The accommodation service is offered at competitive prices that are market oriented.

However, the prices have been fixed taking into account the economic standards of majority of the parents and guardians.

JAB students are accommodated in four halls of residence within the campus. 

The section works in liaison with 15 private hostels in Kakamega to accommodate PSSP students. They charge between Ksh. 6,000 to Kshs. 8,000 per semester.

Challenge:

The main challenge here is to do with shortage of bed space for the JAB students. Currently, we have a shortfall of 269 bed spaces. Another challenge is the issue of security.
