A leading investment company from Kisii town has pledged to help Jogoo Children’s home in the areas of education and economic survival.
Speaking on Saturday at his office, M-Tailor managing director Shamri Patel said the company has set aside Sh10 million that will be released on May and subsequently deposited into Tumaini Children’s account.
He said the move was part of corporate social responsibility and asked other leading enterprises to emulate them in a bid to help the society progress.
Patel urged county governments to budget for children’s homes across the county as a way of helping them sustain their daily operations.
” I am already in touch with the management of Tumaini children’s home and the money will be deposited in their accounts this May. It will be upon the management to ensure education among the needy children is given first priority,” he said.
“Philanthropy should be done by virtually all profit-making businesses. This is the only way we can give back to the society. County governments should also budget for such homes across the county as a way of giving this children equal opportunity,” Patel said.
He said M-Tailor is set to promote more children’s homes across the Gusii region with similar support besides investing in education as a way of appreciating Kenyan-Asian relationships.
M-Tailor is a leading machines investment company in South Nyanza region and is set to expand its businesses to the western part of the country.
