Sonko also said his administration will contract a security firm to provide at least four guards in every ECDE center to ensure maximum security for the children.
Brookside Dairy Group Chief Operating Officer Faiz Taib said the school milk programme reinforces the company’s commitment to building a healthier generation by offering nutrition education in schools, while communicating the importance of having dairy products as part of a healthy lifestyle.
“We are therefore confident that the Brookside Dairy Free School Milk Programme will increase both school attendance and retention levels, both which are vital for the realisation of the country’s national goals of education,” said Mr Taib.
Nairobi County Education executive Janet Ouko said her office will ensure the programme is successful by coordinating the distribution of the milk to all the 229 public ECDE centers within Nairobi.
Kenya Dairy Board Chief Executive Officer Margaret Kibogy, Nairobi County executives and other top county officials also attended the launch.
Ms Kibogy hailed the initiative saying it will address the nutritional challenges children face especially in informal settlements.
