Maasai Girls’ High School in Narok County has benefited from a donation of Sh. 105 million to expand the school infrastructure and pay fees for the vulnerable students, thanks to Merck Foundation for extending their generosity.
The money was used to build a dormitory to accommodate 1, 000 students, a dining hall, and to sponsor 20 students from needy and vulnerable backgrounds.
In an occasion to inspect the ongoing projects, Merck foundation chairperson Prof. Frank Stangenberg-Haverkamp reiterated the importance of giving girls a decent education by giving them a conducive environment to study.
The German philanthropist observed that the dormitories are the girl’s second home, hence the need to make them comfortable so that they can perform at their best.
