Students Awarded ‘Go-Green’ Scholarships.
Five bright but needy students from each county will receive education scholarships as part of a 47-county initiative dubbed “go green.”
This week, ten schools in Nyanza received scholarships. There were five in Kisumu and five in Siaya counties.
Students from Ngere Boys High School, Rae Girls, Ach ego, Thurdibuoro, and Katolo Secondary were among those present.
Other secondary schools included Barding, Chianda, Lwak Sawagongo, and Boro. The program is a collaboration between schools, county environmental departments, and Pioneer Insurance.
“I thank my sponsors for offering this bursary to support my education”, said Cliff Otieno, a student at Barding Secondary. I’m also grateful for the mentorship and leadership development I’ve received:’
He is one of the students who will receive Sh5,000 as part of the Go-Green program.
The school administration selects the potential recipients. Students at each of the five schools plant 1,000 trees in two years to help the environment.
Aside from combating climate change, the 1,000 tree seedlings will beautify the school compound and provide shade for outdoor study and recreation when they mature.
“The scholarship beneficiaries will receive school fees, mentorship, and leadership training that begins with the responsibility of organizing their schoolmates,” said Timothy Mutua, Pioneer’s general manager for marketing. Formalized paraphrase.
