CoKF Attends, Supports Mbagathi Primary Prize Giving Day.

Children of Kibera Foundation attended a prize giving day ceremony at Mbagathi Rd Primary School Yesterday. This was our first ever visit to the school as it was formerly in Dagoretti constituency. Our first engagement with the school saw us donate 200 exercise books and 72 solar lamps. This was topped up with an inspirational talk from our Executive Director-Ken Okoth.

Mbagathi Rd Primary School is one of the oldest in Nairobi, prior to it being taken over by Kenya government upon independence, it was known as King George II. With the redrawing of the electoral boundaries, it has now shifted from Dagoretti constituency and found its way into the newly formed Kibra Constituency.

A significant number of its student population coming from Kibera, the annual prize giving day ceremony was our ideal moment to establish a relationship with the school’s fraternity. With the parents, students, teaching staff, school board and the entire community well represented, through our executive director, the gathering got to know what we do and how they could access our offices.

Meters away from the main event, CoKF staff hosted a table and carried out onsite scholarship and bursary application as well as handling questions from the community. As an addition to the prizes pool, CoKF donated 200 exercise book and 72 solar lanterns that were awarded to top performers. We believe that this is just the start of a fruitful relationship and hope to have the first student from the school securing a full scholarship from Children of Kibera Foundation.
