Every Child Deserves An Opportunity To Be In Class
Every child has a right to education. In view of this, a group of professionals from Kandara Sub-County, under the Kandara Education CBO, created a branded event to provide new opportunities to young people and new experiences to the running public.
The group desires to work with individuals and independent sponsors who would like to partner to deliver a professional event that will assist high school students in their education.
