“CPL Foundation is privileged to support this education initiative. The books not only help the kids to read but enables them to set goals of who they want to be in the future in line with our objectives to educate and empower women and children.
The children had the opportunity to demonstrate basic clinical practices as guided by Nurse Lowen Sihare and Pharmacist Edith Edawi,” said Ms Regil Wanwanji- Coordinator of the CPL Foundation.
