It was an ecstatic moment for pupils, teachers and the board of Amani Primary School, Mombasa County, as they received their newly refurbished toilet and hand washing stations from KenGen PLC Kipevu Power Station Givers.<\/p>\n

The project, which cost approximately Kshs. 3 million, was aimed at promoting hygienic environment for the pupils and teachers.<\/p>\n

KenGen Foundation Managing Trustee Mr. Anthony Igecha, while commissioning the project, said it was a demonstration of the Kipevu Giver\u2019s commitment to better the society.<\/p>\n

He extolled the KenGen Givers for coming up with such a project for the community school.<\/p>\n

Kipevu Givers\u2019 Champion, Mr. Isaac Aisenwa, noted that apart from the toilet, the Givers included two 10,000l. water tanks.<\/p>\n

Amani Primary School Headteacher Mr. Mohammed Abdalla noted that the renovations had been the school\u2019s silent prayer for something to be done to improve the standard of the school.<\/p>\n

In his speech, Mr. Igecha said the donation was KenGen PLC\u2019s way of giving back to the school and society where the Company has significant presence. He noted that in the last financial year, the KenGen Givers across the company had engaged in various Corporate Social Investment activities ranging from the distribution of tanks to the supporting of students through the KenGen Scholarship programme among other initiatives.<\/p>\n

He explained that the proposal to rebuild the toilet emanated from Kipevu Givers\u2019 observation that the infrastructure is inadequate for both pupils and school staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all know that all is not well with the facilities in most public schools. This\u00a0became a source of concern and a decision was reached to renovate toilet and hand washing stations for both students and teachers to complement the rest of the facilities\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cFunding and maintenance of school facilities should not be left with the government alone, corporate bodies and staff have a lot to do in improving the facilities,\u201d Anthony said.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cThe school has impacted so much in the community and we believe it is our responsibility to appreciate the school by contributing our own quota to its development.”<\/p>\n

He also used the occasion to call on individuals and corporate organisations to rise and support the government to enhance quality education while enjoining the students and school management to maintain and manage the infrastructure.<\/p>\n
