Parents in Kitui West, Kitui County, are being called upon to play a pivotal role in shaping their children’s futures by instilling good behavior and encouraging hard work. This appeal was made during an Education Day event held at Kalindilo Secondary School, where various education stakeholders gathered to discuss pressing issues in the community.
Dr. Vincent Munyoki, the founder of the Vincent Munyoki Foundation and a youth leader, underscored the essential role of parents, particularly in supporting their daughters by providing them with basic needs to keep them in school and motivated.
Dr. Munyoki highlighted that the provision of basic necessities such as sanitary pads is crucial for the well-being and education of girls. He pointed out that the lack of these essentials often leads to high dropout rates among girls due to teenage pregnancies and a general lack of motivation.
By addressing these needs, parents can help reduce the barriers that girls face in continuing their education. The emphasis on supporting the girl child reflects a broader understanding of the challenges that female students encounter and the importance of ensuring their uninterrupted education.
The foundation also Donated school bags, Each school bag donated by the Foundation carries more than just books and supplies; it carries the hopes, dreams, and potential of the pupils.
Dr. Munyoki expressed that each bag is a step towards the brighter future envisioned for the children of Kitui West.
This initiative is part of the Foundation’s broader mission to create opportunities and foster growth among the youth in the community.
The donation of school bags is not merely a charitable act but a strategic effort to secure a brighter tomorrow for the students.
By equipping them with the necessary tools for their education, the Foundation aims to create an environment where students can concentrate on their studies and personal development without the distraction of lacking basic supplies. This focus on education and personal growth is crucial in cultivating a generation of well-rounded individuals who can contribute positively to society.
