An estimated 150 high school students from Bondo sub-county, Siaya County, will benefit from the Sh1 million set aside by the Andiwo Obondo Foundation as a fee subsidy this calendar year.
Speaking during the launch of the programme in North Sakwa ward, the foundation Director, Thomas Andiwo, disclosed that fifteen students from each of the six wards will benefit from the school fee subsidy.
Andiwo further revealed that additional students will be picked from the township location, which was given special consideration because of a larger population.
He stated that the fee subsidy programme targets needy students in secondary schools and other tertiary institutions within Bondo sub-county. " We will be reaching out to two wards in each term, and at the end of term three, we shall have reached and offered a fee subsidy to about 150 students in all the six wards," revealed Andiwo.
