The students, who come from needy backgrounds, were part of the inaugural cohort of the institution located in Ngong’ Forest, which was officially commissioned by President Ruto on March 13, 2025. During the commissioning, the President made a promise: their entire four-year secondary school education would be fully sponsored by the government.
“We are investing in a holistic education for our girls to expose them to more and better opportunities,” said President Ruto. “With equal access to quality education, our girls—especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds—will be empowered to realize their full potential.”
The sponsorship includes tuition, uniforms, learning materials, and boarding expenses, and is part of a larger government initiative to bridge the gender and economic gaps in access to quality secondary education.
President Ruto emphasized that the government’s education agenda is not just about academics, but about equipping young people with values, skills, and opportunities to lead Kenya into a more equitable and prosperous future.
“This is not charity—it’s an investment in Kenya’s future,” he told the students. “When we uplift girls through education, we uplift entire families, communities, and generations.”
Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu, who also attended the breakfast, praised the President’s leadership in driving forward the government’s education reforms, highlighting that over 20,000 students from low-income households are now benefiting from similar full scholarships.
