The Dione Etiba Humanitarian Foundation for Peace and Development, DEHFOPAD, has launched a free education initiative for pupils of Government School Ebamut for the 2026/2027 academic year, seeking to ensure that poverty does not keep children out of the classroom. “Too many children in Ebamut and neighbouring villages face barriers to school, with cost being one of the biggest. I grew up seeing myself and other children going to school barefoot, without school bags, pens or pencils. The chief of Ebamut, the school administration and the entire village are ready to support us in realising this initiative.” Ndonge urged parents and community leaders to continue encouraging children to attend school and remain committed to their education.
