They distributed assorted food items including rice, sugar and cooking oil to the families as Sechere said the umbrella is seeking more partnerships to make the programme sustainable to avoid the retirees over-relaying on government stipend which is not sufficient.

In addition to food donations, Sechere said they are targeting to drill about 307 boreholes in partnership with their Chinese friends.

According to him, the boreholes will not only increase accessibility to water but also play a key role in ensuring the country is food secure.
