H.E Joseph Ole Lenku, EGH: Championing Education and Bursary Programs in Kajiado
On January 8, 2025, H.E Joseph Ole Lenku, EGH, the Governor of Kajiado County, reaffirmed his commitment to enhancing education and providing bursaries to needy students. Under his leadership, the county government has implemented several initiatives aimed at improving access to quality education and supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
One of the key pillars of H.E Joseph Ole Lenku’s manifesto is education. The county government has been actively involved in constructing modern Early Childhood Development (ECD) centers and upgrading Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) facilities. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to address low enrollment and retention rates in ECD and vocational training programs.
In addition to improving infrastructure and resources, H.E Joseph Ole Lenku’s administration has also focused on providing financial assistance to students in need. The county government has disbursed bursaries and scholarships to thousands of students, ensuring that children from needy families have the opportunity to pursue academic excellence.
The impact of these initiatives has been profound. The annual ECD enrollment has increased, the teacher-student ratio has improved, and students now have access to better facilities and resources. The county government’s commitment to education and bursary programs is evident in the success stories emerging from various schools in Kajiado County.
