Cooperatives from the Uasin Gishu now have the opportunity of paying school fees with milk instead of money, this is after Cooperatives CS Wycliffe Oparanya launched the Maziwa ni School Fees Program.
The new program will see milk farmers in the Farmers Cooperative Society (FCS) pay their children's school fees using milk in an attempt to reduce the school dropout rate in the county.
According to Oparanya, this program not only aims to strengthen cooperative societies through increased milk production but also enables students to continuously learn without interruption due to school fees. "I am happy that the Maziwa ni School Fees Program is being implemented here, and I would like for it to be implemented in the whole country in dairy cooperatives.
It would be my joy that it even graduates from dairy cooperatives to other cooperatives too," Oparanya said.
