Kabitungu Junior Secondary School

The Board of Management, Teachers, Parent and Students of Kabitungu Junior Secondary School had requested for funding through Bureti Tea Factory Ltd to support the stocking of their junior secondary school classrooms with desks and chairs. The student population stands at 50, most of which were using furniture that was damaged beyond repair. The estimated cost of a desk and chair had been estimated to be around 5000ksh or thereabout thus their total request was for 250,000 kshs. This school supports various under privileged children. These are the children of small holder farmers in Kericho county, and contribution will go a long way to facilitating their education.

  • Description:

    Mr. Collins Cheruiyot, the chairman of ITPAK together with local community leaders, the head teacher of Kabitungu primary, members of the BOG and Members of the local church in a prayer to commission and hand over the desks to the school management.

We report that we were able to facilitate the purchase of desks to the tune of 217,000 KES. Through negotiations for discounts, we were able to bring the cost down to around 4000 for the wooden desks and 4500 for the metal chaired desks.

The same were received by the school in a function on Friday the 28th of July 2023 that was graced by the local area leadership, parents of the recipient class and local pastors who dedicated and blessed the desks.
