Kakamega<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four needy but bright students have a\nreason to smile after a Community Based Organisation (CBO) held a fundraiser on\nThursday to aid them in paying their tuition fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The fundraiser was organised by Tuinuane\nKenya- Western Region Chapter at Punjabu village in Lurambi constituency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The four are Zainabu Ali, Evelyne\nMinayo, Evelyne Luhavi and Maggy Mwenge of St Patrick Ikonyero secondary,\nShikoti Girls and Maraba secondary schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CBO raised Sh65, 070 which was\ndistributed among the four students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with the County Splash\ntoday, the students applauded the CBO for helping them realize their academic\ndreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 They narrated the struggles\nthey have experienced in raising not just their school fees but also\nmeeting their basic needs and called upon the CBO to reach out to other\nvulnerable students experiencing similar challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The CBOs Coordinator Mr. Benedict\nKhashiya says the CBO  since inception has\nsupported over 2,800 students both in secondary and tertiary institutions to  pay their school fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 According to Mr Khashiya, education\nis a key pillar upon which the CBO is founded, adding that there\u2019s need for the\nsociety to pull resources together to support the vulnerable students access\nquality education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Mavendi says Tuinuane Western\nKenya CBO has had a diverse approach to societal growth which includes amongst\nothers construction of houses, payment of school fees, contribution of hospital\nbills, and benevolent support to the vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today alone the CBO has raised a\ntotal of over 172,000 in support of the vulnerable cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Mr Joseph Isaji: one of\nthe cluster coordinators, one must be a member of the CBO to enjoy the benefits\nassociated with their contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CBO has navigated through the\nrough waters of political interference, and despite the fact that it has no\nsponsor, it has emerged as the strongest ever in western Kenya. This is\naccording to Mrs Faridah Issah, the founding chair lady of the CBO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

“We are touching lives, and as\na widow I’m glad to report that we’ve invested heavily in supporting the\ndisadvantaged women in society especially households led by women under\nunfortunate conditions”, said Mrs Faridah Issah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuinuane Kenya Western CBO which\noriginates from Muranda ward of Shinyalu constituency and has until now\nregistered over 500,000 members across all the 12 constituencies in Kakamega\ncounty with the sole aim of  eradicating\npoverty  in the county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mr Mavendi however called upon\nmembers to seize from any form of friction and divisive engagements that may\ncompromise the goal of the CBO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are a strong movement and not everyone is happy with our unity. Our unity is a threat to many especially the controversial political system in this nation. We have a communal obligation to remain tolerant, committed and focused to the goal\u201d, said Mr Mavendi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
