Former Bungoma Senatorial aspirant Enock Opara Makokha launches foundation to support the less privileged

The foundation, named the Enock Opara Makokha Foundation, seeks to address various challenges faced by the community, particularly in the field of education. By focusing on improving educational opportunities and infrastructure, the foundation aims to uplift the lives of those in need.

One of the key initiatives of the foundation is to support schools with inadequate resources and facilities. It recognizes the importance of education in empowering individuals and communities, and understands that lack of access to quality education can perpetuate cycles of poverty and limited opportunities.

By addressing these educational challenges, the foundation aims to create a positive impact on the lives of young people in Bungoma County. 

The Foundation seeks improvement of literacy levels among women. Recognizing the existing gender disparity in education, with women's literacy levels at 49% compared to men's at 71%, the foundation has taken steps to provide scholarships specifically for girls.

These scholarships aim to ensure that girls have equal opportunities to pursue their education and break barriers that hinder their academic progress.

The foundation also recognizes the importance of infrastructure in facilitating effective learning environments.

By partnering with local schools and communities, the Enock Opara Makokha Foundation aims to address challenges such as overcrowded classrooms, inadequate sanitation facilities, and insufficient teaching resources. Through initiatives like building toilet blocks and partitioning classrooms, the foundation strives to create safe and conducive learning spaces for students.

Former Senator Enock Opara Makokha's foundation serves as a call to action for the government, local leaders, and community-based organizations to join hands in addressing the educational needs of the less privileged in Bungoma County.

By working together, it is possible to bridge the gaps in education, provide equal opportunities for all, and empower individuals to thrive and contribute positively to society.

The Enock Opara Makokha Foundation stands as a testament to the commitment and dedication required to uplift communities and create a brighter future for all.
