Governor Sakaja’s Billboards converted to Ksh2,500 School Bags.
On Tuesday, December 20, school bags fashioned from billboards provided by Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja were sold for Ksh2,500 to benefit poor kids before the resumption of school on January 23, 2023.
Governor Sakaja gave his election campaign billboards for the August 2022 election to the Anjiru Program and asked them to recycle them.
When he got the finished bags, he was happy and praised the women and young people who made them.
“I’m pleased with how my campaign’s billboards turned out. The recycled billboards were used by women’s and youth organizations in Nairobi to create school bags for our children and make a living,” Sakaja stated.
“Through the Anjirū program, for every bag bought from them, one is donated to a needy pupil,” he added.
The proceeds from the sale of the bags will be used to pay school fees for poor county students.
The Anjiru Program noted that the donations from the governor enabled them to be a blessing to youngsters around the nation.
“At the same time, the county’s children will be blessed with school bags in time for the start of the new academic year in 2023.”
“Manufacturing in Kenya is not for the faint of heart. One of our highest costs is raw materials. Using waste as a resource we are able to provide jobs to women and youth in Nairobi County,” the statement added.
The project manager thanked the governor for always keeping his word and delivering on his commitments.
“Thank you very much Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja for your generous donation of the billboards,” the innovator, Ciiru, added.
Kiondo bags are another environmentally friendly product produced by Kenyans. Jackee Kasandy, an entrepreneur, has created a name for herself in Canada by selling Kiondos for Ksh18,000.
