This Christmas season, Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii has demonstrated the true spirit of giving by supporting children from various orphanages across the county. The governor hosted an event at the Eldoret State Lodge, where he donated foodstuffs, clothing, and Christmas gifts to children from local children's homes, bringing joy and festive cheer to those in need.
Governor Bii, who was joined by local leaders and well-wishers, emphasized the importance of caring for vulnerable members of society, particularly children, during the holiday season. "Christmas is a time to give, share, and care for those in need," said Governor Bii. "Today, we spread festive cheer by supporting these children, who, despite facing difficult circumstances, continue to be a source of hope and resilience in our community."
The donation included essential food items such as maize flour, rice, sugar, cooking oil, and other groceries, as well as clothing and special Christmas gifts for the children. The gesture was aimed at ensuring that the children, many of whom do not have the opportunity to celebrate Christmas with their families, could experience the warmth and joy of the festive season.
Governor Bii also took time to acknowledge the caregivers and staff of the orphanages, who work tirelessly to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the children. He commended their efforts and reaffirmed his commitment to supporting initiatives that promote the well-being of vulnerable children in Uasin Gishu County.
"We recognize and appreciate the work of the caregivers who provide these children with love and support every day," Governor Bii remarked. "It is our collective responsibility to make sure that no child is left behind, especially during this season of giving."
The event at the Eldoret State Lodge was a heartwarming reminder of the power of community and kindness, with children from several homes expressing their gratitude through songs and dances. The donations are part of Governor Bii’s ongoing efforts to ensure that vulnerable members of society, especially children, receive the support they need to thrive.
Governor Bii encouraged more residents of Uasin Gishu and beyond to embrace the spirit of giving this Christmas. "This season, let us reflect on the blessings we have and share them with others," he said. "Together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of those who need it most."
The event was widely celebrated as a meaningful initiative to bring the community together and spread goodwill, marking another milestone in Governor Bii’s efforts to uplift the lives of vulnerable children in Uasin Gishu County.
