First Lady Margaret Kenyatta has pledged to carry on the nation’s efforts to aid marginalized communities even after President Uhuru Kenyatta’s term ends.
While hosting delegations from the Precious Blood Children’s Family from Kawangware and Ghetto Classics, a music group from the Korogocho slums in Nairobi City, the First Lady, who spoke on Tuesday at State House, Nairobi, said that even though President Kenyatta’s term will soon come to an end, she would still be there for the country’s less fortunate citizens.
“My appreciation to the old and new friends. Thank you for the love I’m overwhelmed and I shall continue being your Patron,” the First Lady told members of the Ghetto Classics, for which she has been the Patron.
“I’ll start working with the Precious Blood Children’s Family once more. I’ll be there to support you. I want to guarantee that even though we will be leaving this house,” the First Lady told the Precious Blood Children’s Family.
The Precious Blood Children’s Family, established by the Missionary Sisters of the Precious Blood 28 years ago, assists in the rehabilitation of children who have been pulled from the streets of Kawangware and the neighboring slums and provides them with a dignified life and education.
Over 500 kids and young people in the Korogocho slums participate in Ghetto Classics, the Art of Music Foundation’s flagship community program, which was launched in 2007 and aims to improve their socio-economic conditions via music.
In appreciation for First Lady Margaret Kenyatta’s outstanding support of the nation’s marginalized communities, the two organizations gave her gifts during the ceremony.
The director of Precious Blood Children’s Family Sister Anne Grace and the founder and executive director of Ghetto Classics, Elizabeth Njoroge, both spoke at the occasion and praised the First Lady for her unwavering and admirable support of the two organizations.
Many children and young people from the two organizations, as well as senior representatives from the two organizations, attended the ceremony.
