Is Your Child's School Fire Safe?
Active parents ask the right questions. Knowing what fire safety measures your child's school must have — by law — is one of the most important things you can do for them.

We stand in solidarity with the Utumishi Academy community after the tragic fire incident.

As @CMETrust, many of our scholars are the same age.

We urge stronger safety and wellbeing measures in boarding schools across Kenya.🕯️
