EAPC PLC continues to demonstrate its commitment to social responsibility by empowering students through education. At a ceremony held at St. Paul Maweli Secondary School on October 14, 2024, the company distributed bursaries totaling Ksh 500,000 to support disadvantaged students in the community.
Present at the event were the company’s leadership, including Chairman Brigadier (Rtd.) Richard Mbithi, Acting Managing Director, Mohamed Osman, Head of Commercial, David Kilonzo, and Acting Head of Marketing, Communications, and Corporate Affairs, Pamela Muthui. The bursary program reflects EAPC PLC’s long-standing belief that education is a key driver for community development and individual empowerment.
As part of the event, the company’s leadership participated in a tree-planting activity led by the Chairman Brigadier (Rtd.) Richard Mbithi. The initiative was designed to teach the students about environmental conservation and empower them to take an active role in protecting the planet as it was now upto them to nurture the planted trees.
Speaking at the event, Chairman Brigadier (Rtd.) Richard Mbithi emphasized that EAPC’s commitment goes beyond education. He said that through the bursary program, the aim is not only to open doors for students but also nurture future leaders.
