Education remains a foundation for lasting stability and community development. In Hosingow, the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), serving under the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM), is translating this commitment into action through an initiative aimed at expanding access to education.
The KDF contingent at Hosingow conducted a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a new classroom at Hosingow Primary School. The project is intended to support the school’s transition towards secondary education, bringing learning opportunities closer to the community and reducing the distance learners would otherwise travel to pursue further education.
The initiative builds on the longstanding relationship between KDF and the Hosingow community, strengthened through sustained Civil-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) activities. Beyond infrastructure development, the contingent has also supported vulnerable learners, including orphans, by facilitating access to education and creating opportunities for them to remain in school.
