AS part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Kilombero Sugar Company (KSC) has invested over 200m/- in the year 2015/16 to implement various community projects particularly in health and education.
The Kilombero Community Charitable Trust
(KCCT) Manager, Ms Mary Elizabeth, said at the weekend that the
projects that were executed in the year under review are namely the
construction of two classrooms, one at Kalunga and the other at Muungano
Primary Schools worth 38.5m/-.
She said before the project, the
pre-standard I pupils were previously holding classes outside on the
grass where they had to suspend studies during heavy rains and also have
to clear grasses from time to time.
Another project involved the
construction of toilets at Mang’ula and Mgudeni primary schools worth
30.5m/-. Each facility has six toilets and urinal. One of the toilets is
designed specifically for disabled students.
“Apart from being among the key sugar
producers, KSC also sweetens hundreds of thousands of lives where it
operates, through various community programmes in health and education
sectors,” she said projects will help improve the quality of education
and life of children in Kilombero.
She mentioned the other projects
accomplished by KSC as the construction of 90m/- girl’s dormitory at
Ruhembe Secondary School that will accommodate 48 girls upon its
completion thus reducing hassles of walking long distance to each school
for about 40 kms daily.
“This dormitory that includes toilet and
shower facilities will improve the attendance and make it possible for
these girls to continue their education,” she said.
