July 22nd, 2017: Children at the Twaweza Pamoja Children’s Home in Kayole have benefited from a donation of various food and toiletry items from ABC Bank staff who visited them over the weekend.
The group of staff led by the Head of Diaspora Banking Joseph Waithaka spent the weekend with the children who are drawn mostly from the sprawling low-income Kayole residential area. Some are orphans while others are neglected or vulnerable children whose parents or guardians are unable to fend for them.
The center was founded Annah Ndeto is a former journalist and a board member of Association of Media Women in Kenya (AMWIK), a publisher and communications consultant.
The center houses over 100 children, with some of them returning to their homes daily. The center also supports their education, clothing and other basic needs. It relies on well-wishers for support.
Joseph Waithaka said ABC Bank invests in supporting communities as a way of giving back and improving livelihoods, adding that the inaugural visit to the center was the beginning of a long lasting relationship.
Thanking ABC Bank for the support, Ms. Ndeto highlighted the myriad challenges that come with running the children’s home in an area surrounded by poverty among other issues.
