Charity

Peponi School Charity Committee has been active in charity activities during the academic year.

e team has been active in fundraising through Mufti days, bake sales, break time pizza and other innovative fundraising initiatives. e highlight of our fundraising was the inaugural Peponi School Charity Walk and Fair on March 15th, 2023. e theme was ‘walking together towards sustainable hunger alleviation, step by step” is is because we are very passionate towards nding a sustainable solution to the endemic famine and hunger that ravages our country every year. We partnered with Food Banking Kenya limited in this noble initiative e walk raised over Ksh 2.1 million, which will be channeled to Food Banking Kenya to construct solar food driers that will be used to dry and store perishable food, which would have otherwise gone to waste. e twin objectives are to stem food shortage and ensure sustainable hunger alleviation throughout the year.

On the 25th November 2022, Peponi School donated assorted food items worth Ksh 1 million. e donations were channeled through Food Banking Kenya, who distributed the food to around 2,500 families in Turkana. is was still an initiative the Charity committee members who coordinated the collection of the food donations from the student body, parents and other stakeholders.

A number of students in the Charity Committee and Charity Ministry have demonstrated focus, commitment and team spirit in all our endeavours. I take this opportunity to thank all of them for their invaluable contributions and support. Special mention is deserved by many in this great team and some who are not members, but support the Committee morally and materially. I would like to highlight e Saini family who contributed Ksh 1 million to support the Charity walk. Ms. Betty Wakhu’s tutor group raised Ksh 29,000 in support of the Charity Fair, and Mr. Simon Odundo’s tutor group raised Ksh 36,000 and had the most innovative fundraising concept.
