Kanisa SACCO Donates Books to Ndogoro Primary
In the spirit of Corporate Social Responsibility, Kanisa SACCO on its Charity Day held on 10 May 2019 brought similes to hundreds of learners with a donation of revision books for Grade 6,7 and 8 pupils at Ndongoro Primary School in Lower Kabete, Nairobi.
According to a report from the school Head Teacher Mrs. Esther K. Mwaura, the school has a total population of 506 pupils (252 boys and 254 girls). With a mean score of 275 marks in the 2018 KCPE, Ndogoro Primary School is the 2nd best performing school in Kabete Sub County. Their target is a mean score of 300 marks in the 2019 KCPE exams.
Among the key challenges the school faces include water shortage, caring for the many needy children and what the school terms as ‘poor parenting’. To address these challenges the school is looking for water tanks to aid in harvesting rain water, uniform and food sponsorship for the children and motivational talks for parents and pupils.
As a contribution, Kanisa SACCO in consultation with school purchased and donated text books for Grades 6, 7 and 8 worth Seventy Thousand Shillings (KES. 70,000). The SACCO team also held mentorship sessions with the pupils aside from meeting the school management to discuss other possible ways of support in future.
The SACCO was represented by 1 member of the Education committee and 2 staff and a member of the SACCO.
It is our hope that this small gesture will help them achieve their mean score target of 300 marks in this year’s KCPE. In addition, the SACCO will continue to liaise with the school to discuss other ways of supporting education of the young children.
