Cabinet Secretary for Gender, Culture and Children's Services, Hanna Cheptumo, has mobilised praiseworthy humanitarian support for 32 schools serving children with special needs in Baringo County.
Speaking during a distinctive handing over ceremony of material and equipment support at Kabarnet School for deaf and blind, Cheptumo said the contribution was made successful following the seamless efforts of several well-wishers.
The CS highlighted the important role played by such institutions in providing care and protection of vulnerable children and disadvantaged members of the society.
She stated that there is need for coordinated efforts to establish safe and child friendly spaces for children in emergencies including those rescued from abuse, exploitation and conflicts. "The deprived children in Baringo are all our children and they need our support," said Cheptumo who was flanked by her Principal Secretaries Anne Wang'ombe (Gender) and Caren Angego (Children Welfare Services).
