The clergy in Maracha, on Friday, 4-4-2025, prayed on more than 60 students who are about to graduate after they enrolled to pursue different courses at Driwaru Jennifer Foundation Institute in Nyadri South Sub-county, Maracha East Constituency in Maracha District.
The prayer session also happened at the same time when the students, together with the administration of the institute, were conducting the inauguration for the outgoing and incoming student leadership at the institute.
Driwaru Jennifer Foundation (DJF), is a Community-Based Organization (CBO) founded and registered in Maracha District in the 2023 / 2024 Financial Year, and it offers some of the following courses for the vulnerable school dropouts; tailoring, welding, and metal fabrication, salon and hairdressing, building, bricklaying and concrete practice, graphics design, art and craft among others in Maracha District.
Assistant Head Girl, Victoria Amviko, who is one of the outgoing prefects at the institution, expressed gratitude over the enormous role Driwaru Jennifer Foundation Institute has played in their lives through education and shaping their morals.
“Many of us used to go for disco dance when we dropped out of schools, many of us used not to go for prayers in churches, but ever since we were enrolled into this institution, our lives have changed”, Amviko stressed amidst applause from her fellow students with whom they are about to graduate this month April-2025.
The parish priest for Koyi Parish, Rev. Luke Aluma upon giving a brief remark before praying for the students and management of Driwaru Jennifer Foundation, expressed delightfulness over the school, and he advised the outgoing students and their leadership to carry and portray good morals and make good use of their skills acquired from the institution.
The principal of Driwaru Jennifer Foundation Institute, Mr Onzima Robert, who talked about this opportunity of a hands-on skilling center, encouraged several other Youths outside there to grab this opportunity for a better livelihood.
“This institution has been able to employ many people in the shortest time both directly and indirectly through supplying and selling of food, water, firewood, and other services that the institution needs for its smooth running,” Mr. Onzima insinuated.
While appreciating Maracha District Woman MP Hon Driwaru Jennifer, the founder of the institution, the principal, Mr Onzima, pointed at challenges like mindset change, limited facilities,, and bad politics by some few people in the district who discourage the vulnerable Youths in the Villages not to join the institution that would better their future.
Nyadri South Sub-county LC3 Chairperson Hon Oraku Jimmy Abirionzia thanked the outgoing students for their patience and commitment in ensuring they undergo the courses of their choice throughout these months.
He cautioned the youths against engaging in immorality and poor attitudes that can easily destroy their future.
