Lizah Foundation International has intensified its efforts to support vulnerable children in Kenya through education and mentorship programs. The foundation emphasizes the need for collaborative action between the government, civil society, and communities to improve educational access and outcomes for all students.
Community and Government Collaboration Vital
During a visit to New Creation Children’s Home, the foundation's Director-General, Elizabeth Mutuku, highlighted the importance of collective responsibility in nurturing the nation's future. She urged the government to increase funding for education and called on communities to back initiatives that assist students facing financial hardships.
"Education is the foundation of a nation. When every child receives an education, the nation grows stronger," Mutuku said, stressing that community support can significantly enhance the learning environment.
Mentorship and Social Awareness
Beyond financial aid, Lizah Foundation International continues to provide mentorship and guidance to students, helping them make informed decisions for successful futures. The foundation also supports vulnerable families and raises awareness on critical issues such as climate change.
Officials from the foundation underscored that robust partnerships involving donors, civil society organizations, government agencies, and local communities are essential to guarantee quality education for children regardless of their economic backgrounds.
