On a bright and hopeful afternoon of May 19th, 2025, the Lukosi Central committee, gathered at Salvation Army Church, Lukosi for a spirited and focused meeting. With World Menstrual Hygiene Day just around the corner, the atmosphere was filled with purpose, unity, and a shared commitment to health, dignity, and empowerment.

This year’s Menstrual Hygiene Day, observed globally on May 28th, is more than just a calendar event for the Lukosi community. It’s a promise—to restore dignity, to shatter stigma, and to ensure that no child misses school because of their period. The upcoming event will impact over 500 boys and girls, with the distribution of sanitary pads and underwear, and delivery of life-changing health services.

The Central Committee meeting, chaired by Moses Temoi, brought together a dedicated group of alumni, teachers, church, Mary Biketi foundation, Community health promoters (CHP), and community members who exemplify the true spirit of Lukosi. Those in attendance included:

• Betty Butembu – Captain, Salvation Army Church
• Everline Mnyange – Secretary & Community Health Promoter
• Emmanuel Sitoki, Dickson Wanjala, James Marango, Francis Wasike – Alumni
• Tumwa Saul, Madam Maurine – Teachers
• Isaya Ngeywa, Davis Keboi – Community Members
• Francis Wasike – Also leading the media and documentation efforts

Focus Areas:

• Sourcing and distribution of sanitary pads
• Mobilization of medical personnel and supplies
• Community outreach and engagement
• Planning entertainment: music, skits, and student-led educational performances
• Assignment of responsibilities for logistics, media, volunteer coordination, and stakeholder invitations

As preparations continue, collection drives for sanitary towels and medical kits are in full swing. The alumni media team, led by Francis Wasike, is gearing up to spread the word through social media, posters, and storytelling that captures the heart of the mission.

The team also plans a comprehensive medical camp to serve the Lukosi community, including:

• General health checkups
• Deworming for children
• Nutritional guidance
• Menstrual hygiene education sessions
• Cancer screening

With the help of health professionals, volunteers, and partner organizations, the event will combine health, hope, and healing in one powerful day of service.

We invite all alumni, well-wishers, and community stakeholders to join hands in making this vision a reality. Whether you contribute sanitary products, offer volunteer support, or help spread the message, your involvement matters.

“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart… for God loves a cheerful giver.”
— 2 Corinthians 9:7 (ESV)

As the big day approaches, we’ll be sharing updates, photos, and stories from the ground. This is more than an event—it’s a movement of compassion, dignity, and empowerment.

Let’s empower girls. Let’s uplift communities. Let’s change lives—one hygiene pack at a time.

On 28th April 2025, a heartwarming chapter was written in the story of Lukosi Primary School—a chapter defined by compassion, unity, and a shared commitment to restoring dignity to every child.

The Lukosi Alumni Committee, deeply moved by the pressing needs of over 300 girls and 250 boys at the school, had been tirelessly seeking support to provide sanitary pads for girls and underwear for boys—basic yet essential items that impact both health and confidence. Despite their efforts, the Alumni were constrained by limited resources.

Then, through a valuable connection by one of the members, a light shone through. The committee was linked to the Mary Biketi Foundation, a partner in purpose and compassion.

On that day, Alumni Chairperson Gacheru Peter, Treasurer Janet Makokha, and Member Mushila Victor convened a pivotal meeting at Gem Suites Hotel, Nairobi, with Mary Biketi, founder of the Mary Biketi Foundation. She was accompanied by a representative of the Ali B Foundation, another organization committed to uplifting communities.

The 90-minute session was more than a formal meeting—it was a sincere dialogue driven by urgency and hope. The outcome? A promise of partnership. A promise of action. A promise of dignity.

Mary Biketi graciously pledged her support to make the 28th May 2025 initiative a success, aligning it with World Menstrual Day. The foundations expressed commitment not just to this event, but to future collaboration for the betterment of Lukosi Primary School in Trans-Nzoia County.

“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.” — Proverbs 3:27

This verse came alive that day.

What started as a plea for help became a powerful movement of giving back. The love and dedication of the alumni group, alongside the kindness of Mary Biketi and the Ali B Foundation, will forever be remembered by the children of Lukosi.

We invite you—fellow alumni, well-wishers, and partners—to join this mission. Together, we can uplift lives, restore dignity, and inspire the next generation.

Let’s stand united for Lukosi Primary School. Because every child deserves support. Every child deserves to be seen.
