50 schools benefit
from Covid-19 kits from a foundation
A total of
50 schools both Primary and Secondary in Kisumu County have so far benefitted
from donation of Covid-19 kits from a Foundation.
Mwalimu
James Japheth Mwamu Foundation has distributed hand washing tanks, Sanitizers
and face masks to 50 schools which is half of the targeted 100 schools in
Kisumu County.
Addressing
the press in Kisumu after donating the items to Otera Primary school in Kisumu East
Constituency, the Foundation’s President Lawyer James Aggrey Mwamu said the school
is the fiftieth one to receive the distribution of the items.
Mwamu says
the Foundation targets 100 schools within Kisumu County to get the donations
from it within Kisumu County.
Mwamu
says the donation has been so helpful in preventing the spread of Corona
virus that its first case was reported in the country last year in March.
Mwamu says the public should be very careful and ensure they
observe the laid down rules on Covid-19 to avoid its spread.
He urges the public to observe the curfew hours that was put in
place for the 13 counties of the Lake Region Economic Bloc{LREB} as from
yesterday June 18, 2021 to avoid contravening the rules and regulation.
“I want to urge our people to be very careful with the
Corona Virus. This is because it is still with us and we must observe the
Ministry of Health Guideline on Covid-19,” Mwamu says.
Mwamu has urged the well-wishers to help in donating such items,
adding that a number of schools within Kisumu County still require such items
to help in preventing the spread of the Corona Virus.
He
says after visiting 100 schools while donating the items, the foundation will
now embark on a program of helping the vulnerable groups in Kisumu County.
Last Month of May, the foundation visited Dunga
Primary school in Kisumu Central where they donated the items to the school.
Two months
ago, two more schools namely Angira Primary school and Saint Albert Angira
Secondary school within Kajulu ward in Kisumu East constituency benefitted from
the donation.
Earlier, the Foundation visited Masawa, Chiga and Obino Primary schools
and distributed the items.
The Foundation also visited Akado Nursery School in Kisumu East
Constituency and Migingo Girls Secondary school in Nyando where it has
donated the items.
In mid-January this year, the Foundation visited Kisumu School
formerly Kisumu Boys High School within Kisumu Central Constituency and donated
the Covid-19 items to the school.
In
December Last year, three schools namely Mbeme, Rweya Primary schools and
Maisha Academy all in Kisumu East Constituency were the beneficiaries with
