A delegation from Mang’u High School, led by the Chair of the Board, Board members, the Principal, the Vice Chair of the Mang’u High Alumni Association, and Parent Association representatives, convened at Kenya Airways Headquarters to inspect and formally accept the livery on a recently donated decommissioned aircraft.
The decommissioned aircraft aligns with Kenya Airways‘ commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, enhancing academic and practical excellence at Mang’u High School, a pioneer in aviation training.The aircraft will be a valuable addition to Mang’u High School’s aviation studies programme, further enriching the institution’s resources.
It will also provide students with hands-on learning opportunities and enhance the school’s capability to offer comprehensive education in aviation studies.
“We are grateful for the generosity of Kenya Airways in supporting our mission to provide quality education, especially in the field of aviation. This partnership enhances our commitment to nurturing skilled professionals for the aviation industry,” stated Antony Maina, Chair of the Board at Mang’u High School.
Furthermore, the Chairman emphasised that the donation builds upon previous contributions from other partners, including a glider, simulator,Beechcraft, and now Boeing. He highlighted that these donations collectively aim to benefit every Kenyan child from each sub-county in the Republic of Kenya, making it a national school initiative.
The collaboration between Mang’u High School and Kenya Airways exemplifies the power of corporate partnerships in fostering educational growth. As the aircraft becomes an integral part of the school’s existing collection, it symbolises a commitment to empowering the next generation of aviation professionals.
The aircraft handover ceremony which was presided over by Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Roads and Transport, Hon, Kipchumba Murkomen, and Kenya Airways Group MD and CEO, Allan Kilavuka seeks to not only provide valuable learning opportunities but also inspire youth to reach for the skies and pursue careers in aviation.
