After starting the Dr Ida Odinga community library initiative last month, she has surprised people for raising millions for her former secondary school library construction project as alumni.
ODM leader Raila Odinga's wife, Ida, raised Sh176.9 million for the building of a 500-student capacity library at her former school- Ogande Girls High School in Homa Bay county.
The project is estimated to cost at least Sh300 million.
Ida held a fundraiser on Friday for the upcoming state-of-the-art library.
She continued that the project will secure her legacy as a dedicated alumna as well as a lifetime teacher, career and life coach of the girl child.
In the fundraiser, the present were Raila, Speaker of the Senate Kenneth Lusaka, Westlands MP Timothy Wanyonyi, Kisumu Deputy Governor Mathews Owili among others.
I wish to announce that we realized a total of Kshs.176,945,116 during the Ogande Girls Library & Resource Center fundraiser. I therefore wish to let everyone who was part of this to know that I deeply appreciate the support and I am deeply grateful from the bottom of my heart. pic.twitter.com/Vne35WONn3
