South African High Commissioner to Kenya Koleka A. Mqulwana has urged South African firms in the country to support needy children.
According to Mqulwana, children in informal settlement should be helped to boost the economic development in the country.
She was speaking during the commemoration of the Nelson Mandela International Day at her residence.
She noted that there was need to work closely with the communities in a bid to raise their standards of living.
“Poverty reduction in Africa is a universal effort towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. We have joined forces with South African investors in Kenya to honour former President Mandela and also show our commitment to inspiring our children to achieve their dreams as we prepare them for positions of leadership in future,”said Mqulwana.
The Nelson Mandela International Day which rallies South Africans and others around the world to dedicate 67 minutes to serving the needy in the community serves as a tribute to the late President Nelson Mandela and his legacy.
