The Safaricom Foundation Chief Risk Management and Security Officer Nicholas Muinde Mulila was the chief guest at the function on behalf of the Safaricom Foundation.
Addressing the event’s attendees, among them students, parents and teachers, Mulila said that it was for the sake of the future of children that they embarked on the project.
“We are supporting the education of these children as the benefit is ours when they become professionals,” he said.
Mulila, who is also the Saint Charles Lwanga Secondary School BoM chairman, disclosed that the foundation gave about 26 million shillings.
“We at Safaricom Foundation will continue supporting development programmes in the county. The county government will also be working with us for the good of our people,” he added.
