Needy students living in Nairobi's informal settlements will benefit from revision books designed to aid their studies and improve their academic performance.
Brian's Community Outreach Foundation (BRICO), the organisation behind the initiative, seeks to inspire students to achieve academic excellence.
Brian Oduor, the organisation's founder, noted that the mentorship programme aims to support students during this challenging period.
"We started this programme to reach out to young minds during this challenging time. With the ongoing teachers' strike, students can't revise effectively, so we decided to step in and offer support," said Oduor.
He added that the initiative in Nairobi is just the start of a nationwide rollout targeting vulnerable students across the country.

The books were distributed to Dagoretti Mixed Secondary School and Lavington Primary School on Thursday, August 29.
The foundation plans to extend its support to more schools in other informal settlements and underserved areas in the coming months.
BRICO co-founder Lumwachi Wycklife explained that the foundation aims to empower students on the verge of abandoning their education due to a lack of resources.
"We are focused on education and want to ensure that students who feel they can't make it are inspired to continue their education. Our goal is to help them realise they can become people of substance after their schooling," he said.
