South Eastern Kenya University (SEKU) successfully conducted a heartwarming outreach initiative to support learners at Katangi Special School, reaffirming the University’s strong commitment to inclusion, equity, and community service.
The initiative was spearheaded by Dr. Sarah Ngesu Coordinator, Disability Mainstreaming Unit in collaboration with Dr. Maurine Muleka, Coordinator, National Cohesion and National Values Mainstreaming Unit, bringing together staff, students, and friends of the University in a collective act of compassion and solidarity.
Learners with special needs often face unique challenges that require consistent support from society. Recognizing this, the SEKU community came together to create a more supportive and empowering learning environment for the pupils at Katangi Special School. Through generous contributions and active participation, the University fraternity demonstrated that meaningful change begins with collective action.
The outreach program not only involved the donation of essential items but also provided an opportunity for engagement and interaction with the learners fostering a sense of belonging, dignity, and encouragement among the children.
This noble initiative reflects SEKU’s broader mission of social responsibility and national cohesion. By extending a hand of hope, the University continues to champion the values of inclusivity and shared humanity.
Every contribution made no matter how small played a significant role in brightening the lives of the learners. The success of the outreach stands as a testament to what can be achieved when a community unites for a common purpose.
SEKU remains committed to advancing inclusive education and strengthening partnerships that uplift vulnerable members of society. Through such initiatives, the University continues to live out its vision of transforming lives through education, innovation, and community engagement.
