Huruma Ward Democratic Change Party (DCP) aspirant Harun Maina has pledged to establish a Ward Bursary Fund that will support at least 300 needy students if elected in the 2027 General Election.

Maina says his commitment to improving access to education is driven by his desire to support vulnerable families and ensure that financial challenges do not prevent children from pursuing their academic dreams.

In a statement, the aspiring MCA revealed that he had personally facilitated the return to school of three needy girls at Eldoret Kandie Senior School using proceeds from his own small-scale business, without relying on any government office or public bursary funds.

He said the initiative had given him an opportunity to witness the challenges faced by struggling families, particularly mothers who are unable to raise school fees for their children.

"This year, from my own small hustle, without any bursary fund or government office, God enabled me to take three needy girls back to school at Eldoret Kandie Senior School," Maina said.

He noted that seeing the girls return to the classroom and their mothers overcome with joy had strengthened his determination to make education a priority in his leadership agenda.

Maina now says he hopes to expand the initiative through a structured ward bursary programme that would benefit hundreds of learners from financially disadvantaged households.

He challenged Huruma Ward residents to consider what could be achieved through collective leadership, arguing that a dedicated bursary fund would enable more deserving students to access education without the burden of financial constraints.

"Imagine what we will do together when you give me the mandate to serve you? With the Ward Bursary Fund, we will educate not three, but 300," he stated.

The DCP aspirant has positioned education support as one of the key pillars of his campaign ahead of the 2027 elections, promising to prioritise vulnerable households and expand opportunities for young people.

His message comes at a time when the cost of education continues to place pressure on many families, with some learners facing interruptions in their studies due to financial difficulties.

Maina says he is ready to serve Huruma Ward, urging residents to support his vision of making education accessible to children regardless of their families' financial backgrounds.

His campaign is anchored on the message of education first and service to humanity, as he seeks to convince voters that leadership should be measured by its impact on ordinary people's lives.
