Kenyatta Primary School at Makongeni in Thika is set to receive a facelift after repainting began for the first time in 40 years.
Parents in the school expressed their gratitude to the MIA Africa Sacco Chairman Sam Chege for the ongoing repainting of the school that has not been repainted since 1975.
The chairman in partnership with Jungle Foundation said that they are keen to ensure all the schools in Kamenu ward are in good shape and contribute in the provision of quality education.
This comes after the school was ranked for the first time in several years as the best in Kamenu ward. The Nation Media Group and MIA Africa Sacco promised to supply at least 16 assorted newspapers to the school.
Chege expressed his appreciation to philanthropists who are supporting community projects calling for more donations to benefit Kamenu residents.
“The Kamenu ward is surrounded by philanthropists and investors who are willing to take the ward forward and support education, am grateful for the good neighbors we have,” said Chege.
Speaking on Monday at his office in Makongeni estate, Chege said that he is optimistic the level of education in the ward will greatly improve if parents will work hand in hand with the teachers in ensuring children are raised responsibly.
He has further called on parents to get involved with their children affairs and condemned underperforming teachers challenging them to learn the tactics that worked at Kenyatta Primary School.
