In partnership with CFK Africa, BIC donated 300,000 writing tools to students this year, reaching an overall donation mark of 1M for 750,000 students. The donation is part of the ‘Buy Me and BIC Will Donate a Pen’ initiative in Kenya.
The initiative stems from BIC’s commitment to education, which aims to improve learning conditions for 250M students by 2025.
Commenting on the occasion, Salome Ngugi, Marketing Manager at BIC Kenya, said: “Education is at the core of what we do, and a focus area for us from a corporate responsibility standpoint. Our initiatives in the communities we operate in are often tailored towards supporting students and enhancing their learning environments – inside and outside the classroom.
The handover event took place in CFK Office Kenya on February 15 in the presence of CFK Africa and BIC team members as well as representatives from the media.
