NAIROBI, Kenya, May 28 – Isuzu East Africa has committed to supporting the development of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) skills.
Through the Isuzu EA Foundation, its MD, Rita Kavashe, said that they will help the Nandi community through education, road safety, the environment, and sports sponsorship.
“Education is one of our sustainability focus areas. We aim to support education around communities that we operate in through programs that enhance the development of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) skills,” Kavashe said while issuing Sh1 million to Longhorn Publishers during the unveiling of the STEM section at the Eliud Kipchoge Library in Kapsisiywa Secondary School.
Eliud Kipchoge expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative.
“This generosity demonstrated today serves as a reminder that, together, we can drive positive change and create a brighter future for everyone,” he said.
“Education is equally key for development besides spurring growth across the society. The initiative will therefore be crucial in enhancing knowledge in our community.’’
According to Longhorn Publishers Chief Operating Officer, Michael Mwaura, the initiative will be valuable for educational and vocational purposes within the Kapsisiywa community.
The exercise coincided with Isuzu EA’s regional stakeholder engagement as a forum to interact with customers and build long-term business connections.
To date, Isuzu has donated 70 percent of the books from the preparatory level to the university level in the library, which can seat 200 students.
