Kenya: Barclays Bank; Moving From Talking to Tasking

from odhiambo okecth

Friends,

Now this is what we call; Moving From Talking to Tasking.

Barclays Bank spent Kshs 30m last year supporting various organizations who are working with marginalized communities in providing for them alternative clean energy eg Solar, Hydro, Bio Gas as well as re-cycling of waste plastics.

We are also happy that Barclays did support KCDN in 2008 when the then Haile Sellassie Branch Manager and staff members visited us. The Manager later supported the provision of Sanitary towels to the Girls who were then in the KCDN Child Support Initiative. Visit http://kcdnkomarockswatch.blogspot.com for more details.

We at KCDN must take this opportunity to congratulate their kind gesture to the many CBOs they are working with. We are looking forward to initiating a structured partnership between KCDN and Barclays Bank that will see their involvement in the Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign.

The Clean-up Exercise in Nairobi is set for Saturday 26th Feb at Huruma and Mathare area. We have the follwing support so far;

Rivers of Peace – 100 seedlings that we will plant on the day.
Area Ward Managers- Huruma and Kiamaiko- Basic tools- rakes, wheelbarrows, spades etc
Local CBOs- voluntary work force- Note- no one will be paid to clean his/her neighbourhood

We are appealing to all Friends of KCDN, Institutions, Religious Bodies, Schools and all People of Goodwill to give us their support as they participate all across Kenya.

We are also happy to announce that the residents of Malindi under Mr. Titus Kangangi are organizing themwelves for the Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign. We know we will make some difference on 26th Feb all across Kenya.

Again, this is what we are championing at KCDN; Moving From Talking to Tasking.

A Clean Kenya Starts With Me.

Peace and blessings,

    Congratulations! Good work to support the Vulnerable.
    I am making this comment also to inquire how to access support for Fr Ouderaa secondary school for the hearing impaired in Siaya County.
    Kindly revert.
