The First Lady, Rachel Ruto, has called for concerted efforts to help young girls attain their full potential in life.
Mrs.
Ruto singled out abject poverty as one of the greatest impediments that hinders girls from realising their lifelong dreams, with the majority of them being forced to shoulder the burden of assisting their parents in fending for the family.
She said no effort should be spared in ensuring every girl can access quality education and other essential services that can equip her with skills that can transform her life and make her contribute to the development of the nation.
