Thank you All for making A Real Difference 

Kianda School is a project of Kianda Foundation which was founded by The late Mary Mahoney, Margaret Curran, Olga Marlin and Terese Temes, so it is clear in my mind that thanking these four ladies is of utmost importance. We extend our sincere gratitude for it is from their actions that Kianda is what it is and the reason for the marathon.

Such an event cannot be executed within a short period of time. The wheels started rolling months prior to the event. It required extensive planning which brought together the committee members and class champions to help in this noble cause.  

Appreciation to the School Board led by the chair Dr. Caesar Mwangi, the Academic Council led by the Principal Miss Joan Odera, the alumni led by Prof. Anne Muigai, the committee members led by Mr. Ken Maina , class champions, parents, students, and well wishers – giving your time is as valuable as monetary contribution. 

We thank our Chief Guest, Her Excellency Margaret Kenyatta, for gracing the occasion to flag off the marathon. We are grateful to the organizing team from the Office of the First Lady: Ms. Viviane, Ms. Evah and Mr. Githinji for the coordination to make this day a success.

I wish to make a special mention of Hon. Tim Wanyonyi, and we thank him profusely for his generous donation and support not only to the marathon but to many other projects that the school has had over the years. 

To the teacher and non -teaching staff, wow! What can we say? You graced the event through your dedication to this cause which you championed especially among the students. 

The dress down Fridays conceived and executed by them was not only a great fundraising idea  but it remains a source of great amusement. 

A very special recognition and gratitude goes to the students. They demonstrated the most enthusiasm for the cause. They reminded the parents daily to stay on the path, led by their captains in their respective houses. We saw them jam and dance to Zumba. They sold merchandise and championed different ways to raise funds. They truly made the build up to the marathon memorable. All this without losing focus on their studies. It was heartwarming and I thank them profusely. 

To the parents of Kianda who have been the primary source of resources for the scholarship fund thus far. Please accept our deepest gratitude.

A special thanks to David Thuo our head of logistics and his team who did an amazing job coordinating and planning the actual marathon.
