Finlays supports school development programmes

Over the past few months, the Finlays Community Trust has commissioned infrastructure projects at five secondary schools in Bomet and Kericho Counties at a total cost of over US$175,000. This is in line with the Kenyan government’s ambitious Educational Infrastructure Expansion Programme, which seeks to construct 11,600 classrooms in 7,074 public secondary schools to prepare for transition of the pioneer Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) learners to Junior Secondary School in 2023. The recently commissioned projects include two classrooms at Motero Secondary School, laboratories at Sondu Secondary School, Masindoni Secondary School and Sosiot Girls’ Secondary School, as well as a library at Kamureito Secondary School. 

Since 2010, the Trust has invested over US$1.9 million on infrastructure to support development and improve the lives of communities in Kericho and Bomet Counties. In addition, the Trust runs two annual scholarship programmes for secondary school and undergraduate students and administers the Swire Masters Scholarship programme.
