In a significant move to enhance educational opportunities in one of Kenya’s largest slums, the Chinese Embassy in Kenya and the Kenya-China Economic and Trade Association (KCETA) have donated $84,800 to MCEDO Beijing School in Nairobi. This funding will facilitate comprehensive upgrades to the school’s facilities, including classroom renovations, improved lighting systems, modern desks, and essential educational materials. Established in 2007 with initial funding from the Chinese Embassy, the school has seen a steady increase in student numbers, now nearing 600, thanks to ongoing support from Chinese entities. Benedict Kiage, the school’s director, highlighted the transformative impact of this support, noting the addition of science laboratory equipment and instructional materials that attract more students seeking quality education. Student representative Latifah Natasha Omondi expressed heartfelt gratitude, emphasizing the improved safety and aesthetics of the school environment. Chinese Ambassador Guo Haiyan underscored the broader significance of the school’s development, framing it as a testament to the enduring friendship and shared future between China and Kenya. KCETA Chairman Yu Xiaodong reaffirmed the association’s commitment to continuous support, urging students to aspire to become future contributors to both their nation and the bilateral relationship.
