A total of 825 needy students from Murang'a County have had their hope of continuing with education reignited after being awarded bursaries.
Murang'a Women Representative Betty Maina, through the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF) kitty, distributed bursaries worth Sh6.4 million.
The students, drawn from vulnerable and underprivileged backgrounds who would otherwise have challenges paying school fees, will have their secondary and tertiary education sponsored.
Speaking at Kimorori grounds, Kenol Monday, the Women Representative, observed that her office is committed to ensuring that all students from underprivileged backgrounds have an equal chance to education as those from rich family backgrounds. "Today, 825 students in colleges, tertiary institutions, and secondary schools, including those living with disabilities, receive a total of Sh 6.4 million to cater to their studies," she said.
