A local foundation is buying shoes for learners who sat KCPE as they join Form One.

Started by Abothoguchi West MCA Patrick Muthuri, the foundation also runs a programme “Girls Always in School” which provides learners with sanitary towels.

Muthuri said he decided to buy shoes to boost the students' morale as they joined various high schools.

“My friends and I decided to buy shoes for all of them, irrespective of the marks they got or the schools they had been admitted. It was a way of reducing the burden held by parents,” said Muthuri.
