He said the facility can accommodate up to 50 pupils at ago and will go a long way to help the learners in both intensive and extensive reading.

"Pupils from this area tend to be marginalized and lack resources so my wish was for them to have equal opportunities for them to be able to compete when it comes to jobs and other opportunities in life," Kitimet said.

Kitimet hopes to help create a conducive environment for young learners by offering learning materials to the best of his ability.

"This library is going to enhance their capabilities so that when they get opportunities they are able to compete with their peers," he added.
