Charlene Ruto Reveals Financiers of Her Charitable Cause Across Counties

Charlene Ruto has denounced the assertion she is capitalising on government resources to steer her charitable cause in counties.

Under the Charlene Ruto Foundation, the first-born daughter of President William Ruto has been traversing counties to help special cases by donating food and other essentials.

The cause is on the sidelines of her routine high-power engagements with county bosses and high-profile officials.

She says her charity works are bankrolled by well-wishers, donors, and friends who have come on board to be part of her august project.

This is contrary to the assumption the government is financing her by virtue of her father being the head of state.

"Charlene Ruto Foundation has different donors and sponsors who have come on board. Some are individuals and people in business who have come to me to support the foundation. I have also put my own resources and that of my team. So we are not using the government resources for our activities and we don't have to," she said.

Charlene urged the Kenyan youth to pursue their respective causes without having to bank on the government as its key input is providing an enabling environment.

She spoke on Saturday, December 10, on the sidelines of the Daystar Alumni Association Christmas Party.
