“The only aspect we can use to uplift ourselves is by ensuring quality education in our county. This has to start from the ground level,” said Achani.
Under her leadership, the county has built numerous ECDE centres, provided a porridge school feeding programme to boost attendance, and equipped learning institutions with essential facilities such as classrooms, desks, and water tanks.
She said the county has partnered with other stakeholders including non-governmental and private entities to support children with bursary programmes and sponsor needy but bright students to pursue secondary and tertiary education.
“Education is the bridge to a better future. With it, we can eradicate poverty, improve living standards, and secure the future of our children and generations to come,” she said.
Kwale County Deputy Governor Chirema Kombo echoed Achani’s sentiments, emphasizing the county government’s commitment to improving all sectors to enhance the living standards of its residents.
Kombo reiterated the administration’s holistic approach to development.
“For us to prosper, we have to come together as leaders. In Kwale, we speak with one voice for the development agenda of our citizens,” he said.
