Chandaria Foundation Gives Sh3.9 Million To Fund Scholarships

Sh3.9 million has been given to the Kenya Community Development Foundation (KCDF) to fund secondary school scholarships for deserving students around the nation.

Almost 130 kids will complete secondary school thanks to sponsorship from the Chandaria Foundation.

“We have funding to support 130 pupils in secondary school this year. The funds will be utilized to cover Form One tuition and other students’ fees, according to KCDF Executive Director Grace Wakesho Maingi.

She clarified that before confirming their assistance for the following year, Chandaria Foundation reviewed KCDF student progress reports submitted as part of the program. In order to assist underprivileged kids in obtaining secondary education during the past 17 years, Chandaria Foundation has worked with KCDF, a capacity-building organization. In the agreement, Chandaria Foundation has contributed the money while KCDF has been in charge of overseeing the portfolio of scholarships.

Dr. Chandaria has been confined to a wheelchair for the past nine weeks due to a leg fracture.

According to Ms. Maingi, “We are also assisting schools, instructors, and organized groups to engage in better community results.

Dr. Chandaria has urged the government to focus on homegrown manufacturing to generate employment. “Since our kids are living on the streets, we aren’t developing as we should. The capacity of manufacturing must be increased by the government, together with investments and industries. They must prioritize job development and provide the finest possibilities for Kenyan young.

Ms. Maingi urged Kenyans to assist the less fortunate. Kenyans are kind people, but to address the needs of the most vulnerable in a lasting way, she continued, we must give in organized ways.

Several of the scholarship program’s recipients have returned to help weaker pupils.

“As a foundation, we aim to assist the community in becoming more resilient so that they are still able to prosper even in the face of shocks,” she continued.
