Children of Kibera Foundation: WE SUPPORTED, ATTENDED AYANY PRIMARY PRIZE GIVING DAY

Our commitment to improve the education standards in Kibera saw us join other education stakeholders from the district to grace the Ayany Primary School prize giving day fete held on the 29^th of September.

Children of Kibera Foundation donated 10 trophies for the various academic categories.

This was a special day for us for we have a strong partnership with the school. We helped put up a computer lab in the school, currently serving 30 teachers and 1300 students. Too, this year Sheila Awino made it to our 2011-2014 groups of scholars; the first pupil from the school into our High School Scholarship programme. She was called from her current school (State House Girls) to receive an award of academic excellence and to motivate this year’s candidates. we currently sponsor 34 students into prestigious provincial and National Schools across the country.

As a measure of not letting any student from Kibera not to miss out on the opportunity to register for the next scholarship round, we undertook on-site registration that saw 62 hopeful students register.

We also take this opportunity to recognise the sterling work that Mrs Leah Asego has done in the circles of education in Kibera. Both as a teacher and a lover of the performing arts. As a teacher you inspired many, as a lover of arts you discovered many talents that would have otherwise lay dormant. Not to forget, you were a strong advocate, you stood up for the rights of children and of your fellow teachers. Your voice was strong and clear, it carried conviction and finality.

We wish you well as you go into retirement life. You educated the future.
