“I wish to thank all our stakeholders who have walked the journey with us for the last four years particularly those who have donated to our kitty since CDF funds alone are not enough to educate all my needy students. Kenya Keys (NGO) represented today by Alex Mwangi have been coming in handy every year. CO-OP Bank Foundation where on top of their other sponsorship of 13 through Charles Ilinga today also took additional 2 students. Undugu Mentorship Initiative (NGO) has been extremely helpful in sourcing for funds to compliment NG-CDF. It will cost approximately Kes. 4.4m per year to sponsor these students in Sima Wukiwa 4 with Kes. 3,754,000 coming from my NG-CDF kitty” Posted Danson Mwashako on his facebook page
