The Kenya National Police DT SACCO has handed over newly constructed classrooms, a multipurpose hall, and 440 sets of school furniture to Utumishi Comprehensive School in Gilgil.
This initiative aims to improve the school's learning environment, accommodate an additional 800 students, and support various educational and extracurricular activities.
Kenya National Police DT SACCO CEO Solomon Atsiaya said investing in education is not just a philanthropic act, it is an investment in the future of our nation.
“This Project is a tangible demonstration of our commitment to building a brighter tomorrow for the leaders of tomorrow,” said Atsiaya.
The project is particularly significant given that 30 percent of Kenyan schools lack adequate infrastructure, impacting the education of over 4 million students nationwide.
With an asset base exceeding Sh55 billion and a loan portfolio over Sh46 billion, the SACCO’s contribution reflects its commitment to education and community development.
“The Kenya National Police DT SACCO’S investment in education sets a new standard for corporate social responsibility in Kenya. By prioritizing the well-being of future generations, the SACCO is demonstrating its commitment to sustainable development and its role as a responsible corporate citizen”
The SACCO has also engaged with the local community to ensure the project's sustainability and has implemented financial literacy programs for students.
This investment aligns with national efforts to improve access to quality education and demonstrates the potential for private sector contributions to address educational challenges in Kenya.
