Thousands of students in the Western and Nyanza regions will benefit from improved access to clean water in schools, thanks to a significant donation of water tanks by Shabiki.com and the community. The initiative has facilitated the distribution of 10,000-litre water tanks to 18 primary and secondary schools in Kakamega, Bungoma, Siaya, and Busia counties, enhancing water storage and accessibility.

The handover ceremony in Kakamega County was met with jubilant celebrations, as women from Matungu danced to welcome Shabiki.com representatives. The event, hosted at St. Maurice Mwira School, was graced by several dignitaries, including Dr. Jane Makau, Chairperson of the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB), Harriet Chiggai, the President’s Advisor on Women’s Affairs, and Fred Afune, Director of Shabiki.com.
