Showing Corruption the RED CARD

62 boys and girls from Bondeni Primary School graduated from VAP’s Anti-Corruption program in July. This was the third graduation since the program’s inception, bringing the total number of participants to 250. 

Over four months, the youngsters benefited from 10 anti-corruption intervention sessions.

Stephen Ndungu, Head Teacher at Bondeni Primary School, says, “I really appreciate  the information that VAP has given to our kids bearing in minds that these youth are the leaders of tomorrow. Secondly these youth come from the slum making them more vulnerable to exploitation. They might end  up growing up knowing that corruption is  a normal way of life.”

He continues, “We all know what corruption has done to our country but with this kind of training and enlightenment we can rest assured that we are grooming  future leaders with great integrity.with this kind of training and enlightenment, we can rest assured that we are grooming future leaders with great integrity.”
