Kenya Police Sacco hands over state-of-the-art multi-purpose hall and classrooms at Gilgil school

The Kenya National Police DT SACCO today marked a significant milestone in its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives by handing over newly constructed classrooms, a multipurpose hall and 440 sets of school furniture to
Utumishi Comprehensive School in Gilgil.

Leveraging its impressive financial resources, with an asset base exceeding Ksh 55 billion, a loan portfolio surpassing Ksh 46 billion, and total deposits of over Ksh 32 billion, the SACCO handed over the facilities which is a testament of the cooperative’s commitment to supporting education and community’s development.

The new facilities will enhance the learning environment, accommodate 800 more students and support a wider range of educational and extracurricular activities.

“Investing in education is not just a philanthropic act, it is an investment in the future of our nation,” said Mr. Solomon Atsiaya, CEO of the Kenya National Police DT SACCO. “This Project is a tangible demonstration of our commitment to building a brighter tomorrow for the leaders of tomorrow.”

The project is particularly significant given that 30% of Kenyan schools lack adequate infrastructure, impacting the education of over 4 million students nationwide.

By investing in Utumishi Comprehensive School, the SACCO is helping to bridge the educational divide and ensure that all students have equal opportunities to succeed.

The SACCO’S involvement in the projects extends beyond the physical infrastructure. The Sacco has actively engaged with the local community to ensure the project’s sustainability and alignment with community needs.

Additionally, the SACCO has implemented initiatives to improve financial literacy among students, empowering them to make informed financial decisions.

“The Kenya National Police DT SACCO’S investment in education sets a new standard for corporate social responsibility in Kenya. By prioritizing the well being of future generations, the SACCO is demonstrating its commitment to sustainable development and its role as a
responsible corporate citizen” said Mr. Solomon Atsiaya, CEO of the Kenya National Police DT SACCO, in his closing remarks.

This project has significant implications for the Kenyan landscape. By addressing the critical need for educational infrastructure, the SACCO is contributing to the government’s efforts to achieve universal access to quality education.

Additionally, the project serves as a powerful example of how private sector entities can part change.
