Launched in 2017, the Inuka programme supports needy and physically challenged students to pursue secondary education. Since its inception, 746 students have been seen through secondary schools across 47 counties.
“We sponsor a boy and a girl from each county, with an annual adoption of 94 students since 2016,” says KPC on its website.
Vetting of beneficiaries is carried out by the National Council for Persons with Disabilities and county officers to ensure only deserving cases are considered.
Advertisements are published in the mainstream media houses with interested applicants instructed to collect and submit application forms at the NCPWD county offices.
Ninety of the Inuka beneficiaries sat for last year’s KCSE, with 37 scoring C+ and above.
