This explains our commitment to support even the basic education; that is where it all starts, so it can\u2019t be neglected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cWe provided exercise books, school fees, and literature books to over 300 students and 150 students at Ecole Primaire de Kariyeri and Gisozi II primary school, respectively.
