Kenya Pipeline Invests Sh24m in School Infrastructure in Homa Bay
The Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Foundation has unveiled school infrastructure projects worth Sh24 million in Homa Bay County to enhance education standards.
The projects include two classrooms worth Sh3 million at Lambwe Mixed Special Secondary School in Suba North, and a Sh5 million dormitory at Siburi Mixed Secondary in Karachuonyo. Additionally, a Sh5 million dormitory was built at St Joseph Multi-purpose Secondary School in Ndhiwa, while Simbi Mixed Secondary School received a modern laboratory and dormitory valued at Sh8 million.
KPC Foundation also constructed an administration block and a latrine at Kowuor Primary School in Karachuonyo at a cost of Sh3 million.
During the commissioning at Lambwe Special Secondary School, KPC Foundation manager Rachel Gathoni emphasized the organization's commitment to providing a conducive learning environment for students.
“Through this initiative, we aim to transform the lives of young Kenyans and empower them for a better future,” she stated.
Lambwe Mixed Special Secondary School principal Margaret Kwamboka welcomed the project, noting that it had addressed a pressing shortage of classrooms.
“We lacked two classrooms, and KPC Foundation has come to our aid. This will significantly benefit our students, many of whom are orphans facing various challenges,” Kwamboka said.
The school’s Board of Management member Erick Adede added that the improved infrastructure would motivate students and attract more learners.
In addition to the infrastructural support, KPC announced full scholarships for all students at Lambwe Special Secondary School from Suba North, ensuring continued access to education for vulnerable learners.
