She said the initiative is motivated by her personal kindness and genuine desire to help children who struggle to afford basic school requirements.
Daudi said she believes education is one of the greatest gifts that can be given to a child and wants to play her part in helping learners remain in school and pursue their education.

According to Daudi, even small contributions can make a meaningful difference in a child’s education.
She also expressed gratitude to those who have supported her initiative, revealing that she has received contributions of up to K1 million from various individuals.
Daudi said although she cannot mention all the contributors by name, their support has played an important role in making the initiative possible.
