“During the formation of the CBO I was of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live.”
— John Mwangi, Chairperson ML cbo.
“When we started out to build the CBO we decided very earlier on in the project that the key to success would be the last ounce of effort that was going to push us to an amazing stat. So we started out working from our own background and being the best version of what we could be.”
— Dennis Kinyua, Head of ICT Department
“In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it and therefore We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us , we must thrive to make our backgrounds Eco-Friendly and sustainable. ”
— Lucky Juma, Head of Communications .
“Community service has taught me all kinds of skills and increased my confidence. You go out there and think on your feet, work with others and create something from nothing. That's what life's all about, Being of service to others is what brings true happiness.”
