"I take cognizance of their innovative educational programmes such as the Great Places to School initiative, Transforming Education Initiative, Character and Creativity Initiative and the LEAP Hubs initiatives,'' he said.

These programmes, he said, are critical in realising education outcomes such as learning, transition and sustainability.

"Global Peace Foundation Kenya's commitment to education as a tool for peacebuilding demonstrates that education remains the most powerful weapon for sustainable peace and development,'' added Kipsang.

Through these innovative approaches, he said he was informed that the Global Peace Foundation Kenya has directly impacted more than 50,000 learners from 50 schools across the 47 counties.
