He further commended Lucy Kibaki for initiating Starehe Girls center
and advised young girls to aim for the National school. “It’s with no
doubt that any individual who goes to starehe, they excel in academics
and in life. We should appreciate the will by Lucy Kibaki to support
the girls centre.” He concluded.

According to KFC Directorship , Sister Magret Maina  children have
been neglected by their own citizens because they anticipate
international funds.

“The aim of this walk is to create awareness among Kenyans that they
can make a difference themselves without waiting for international
support.” She said.

Apart from Education, Shelter and Food support, KFC project
facilitates other programs such as health, guidance and counseling,
non-formal training for children that involves mind, body and soul.

She has supported the organization from her networks and other local
institutions since the year 2003. It accommodates all races and
religions of children for rehabilitation.
