Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) and vocational training form the bedrock of community progress.
It has been my plea as a leader for Malewa west ward, to have a modern vocational training center where our young youths will be getting skills free of charge and for the first time in history my vision is now being actualized as we have now started construction of two classrooms and an office at Malewa west vocational training center.
Also Nyondia Annex Ecde classroom and abulation block is now taking shape.
A well-equipped ECDE classroom shapes a child’s cognitive and social growth, while modernized Vocational Training Centers (VTCs) empower youth with sustainable, hands-on skills.
A child's first step into school should inspire wonder, not fear of a dilapidated, dusty room.
Modern ECDE classrooms are more than just four walls and a roof. They are child-friendly spaces specifically designed to support early brain development and the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
By equipping these classrooms with modern amenities, proper seating, and interactive, safe play areas, we are ensuring that our youngest learners get a fair start in life.
Quality early education builds emotional intelligence, language skills, and a lifelong love for learning, bridging the gap between public and private education right here in our county.
But we cannot stop at the foundation; we must also build the bridge to adulthood. Our modernly equipped Vocational Training Centers are the engines of our local economy.
In today’s world, practical, technical skills are in high demand.
After completion our VTC with modern tools, that will give our youth hands-on experience in trades like mechanics, carpentry, ICT and tailoring.
This investment combats unemployment by shifting the narrative—transforming our youth into job creators rather than job seekers.
Development is not just about roads and bridges; it is about investing in human capital.
As a leader, I remain fully committed to championing assembly budgets that prioritize education at every level.
Let us continue working together, utilizing local labor where possible, and taking ownership of these institutions.
When we invest in our ECD centers and VTCs, we are investing in the generational prosperity of our community.
I together with her Excellency the Governor Hon Susan Kihika we are committed to ensure that we improve infrastructure of our Ecde and also equip our youths and young parents with skills so that they can build their future.
