Today was a great day well spent at Kaptagat Girls High School, Uasin Gichu County where @kutrrh is partnering with the school to plant trees as per the Hospital's effort in meeting the targets set by MoH.
The County was allocated to MoH as one of the tree planting locations under the Government policy on 30% forest restoration by 2032. The Chandaria Foundation supports the tree Nurseries through Global Peace Organization at Kaptagat Girls school.
My key advice to the girls was for them to remember that the current adversities do not define how their future will be if they work hard and stay focused. Together with my friends and Dr. Chandaria, we offered two girls a scholarship and appreciated the creativity of the girls.
Thank you, Chief Principal Florence Natembea and your team for your hard work.

Accompanied by the Correctional Services PS, Dr. @salomebeacco, the event included a tour of Kisumu prison facility where the First Lady interacted with inmates, enjoyed their poems and dances, showcasing their talents.

In line with the #IWD2024 theme "Invest in women, accelerate progress," the workshop aims to equip women inmates with essential skills for successful reintegration into society.

@CorrectionalKE PS extended gratitude to H.E. Rachel Ruto for her invaluable support and guidance in fulfilling the mission of rehabilitating and reintegrating offenders.
