Francesca Njoroge, in Form 2, thanked His lordship "for the opportunity to help the young girls of Lodwar go to school". She also thanked "all those who had contributed to the cause by sacrificing their credit money". The funds were also raised by class "harambees" which would take place in class every Friday.
Queen of Peace School for girls in Lodwar has been the objective of their support. The school started just a few yew years ago and enrolment has jumped enormously.Out of a population of almost one million in Lodwar, only 2,000 girls are in secondary school with about 38,000 girls attending primary school. The attendance of girls is much less than boys. Bishop Kimengich thanked the girls for all their efforts and encouraged them to continue.
