On the 2nd of March, the Kenema Heritage Union (KenHu) proudly spearheaded the launch of Project 100, a noble initiative aimed at supporting and uplifting school pupils in Kenema, eastern Sierra Leone. The event was marked by a vibrant march past and the generous donation of learning materials to deserving students.
Comprised of dedicated indigenes of Kenema, KenHu is a collective effort of individuals seeking to give back to their beloved hometown. The program on the 2nd of March brought together students from various schools, who united in a spirited march through the bustling streets of Kenema.
Established by a diverse group of individuals hailing from different walks of life, including passionate young individuals born and raised in Kenema, KenHu has been actively making a positive impact for nearly 3-4 years. The primary goal of the organization is to inspire and support young people, particularly those facing financial constraints in pursuing their education.
Project 100, a key component of KenHu’s community outreach efforts, aims to assist 100 deserving school pupils from different educational institutions by providing them with essential school supplies. This initiative serves as a motivational tool to encourage students to remain focused and dedicated to their studies.
The culminating workshop, held at the esteemed City Hall in Kenema, was graced by a host of influential stakeholders, including guest speakers Hon. Bernadette Lahai and Mrs. Elizabeth Sow Esq., who delivered enlightening talks on various topics.
The essence of such events lies in fostering a supportive environment where students are not only empowered but also inspired to overcome their challenges and persevere in their educational pursuits. As KenHu continues to drive positive change within the community, they aim to instil a sense of resilience and determination among the youth, shaping a brighter future for generations to come.
