Five public schools in four counties are set to benefit from Kenya Power Foundation’s KShs.7 million education-focused social investment, targeting structural renovations and facelifts projects for improved learning environment.
The Foundation will channel KShs.4.5 million to support one school each in Baringo, Turkana, and Machakos counties, while two schools in Nairobi County will collectively receive KShs.2.5 million during the 2024/25 financial year.
The funds will help in renovating dilapidated classrooms and completing facelifts projects, a move that is aimed at improving learning conditions in the respective schools.
Speaking during a KShs.1.5 million cheque handover ceremony at Nairobi School, Logan Christi Hambrick, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Kenya Power Foundation and a Member of the Kenya Power Board of Directors, reaffirmed the Foundation’s long-term commitment to supporting education initiatives across the country.
“Kenya Power Foundation is pleased to continue this journey that began late last financial year in this school. Today’s cheque handover will help complete a key refurbishment project and we’re equally excited about ongoing education initiatives in Baringo, Turkana, and Machakos counties,” said Hambrick.
“We have plans to scale this up in all the counties and we are inviting all the like-minded individuals and institutions to join us in undertaking this cause,” she added. The Foundation aims to leverage strategic partnerships through collaborations, MOUs, and sponsorships to increase its impact.
Apart from rehabilitating learning facilities and construction of learning infrastructure, Kenya Power Foundation intends to provide endowment funds and scholarships for students in marginalized communities.
The Kenya Power Foundation was launched in September 2024, marking a significant milestone towards Kenya Power’s commitment to undertaking sustainable social responsibility initiatives in all the 47 counties through empowering communities and lighting lives.
Kenya Power Foundation focuses on three key pillars, which include education and skills development, energy and environment, and social investment and community wellness.
