HOSTELS FOR KENYA
N.Z. Donation Of £24,000 (N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, July 23. New Zealand has given £24,000 from the Freedom From Hunger Campaign fund to equip Kenya’s big new animal health and industry training institute at Kabete, Nairobi, with two 60-bed hostels for students from neighbouring countries. The gift would enable those countries to secure through the institute the trained personnel they needed to develop their resources, the national secretary of C.0.R.5.0. (the Rev. H. C. Dixon) said. Work on one hostel had already begun.
Mr Dixon said the British Ministry of Overseas Development gave £BO,OOO to erect and equip the buildings. The United States Agency for International Development had given more than £28,000 worth of equipment for the tannery, leatherwork, and laboratory. This would enable the institute, which was almost completed, to give training in all aspects of a trade vital to Kenya’s economy, as the country had an abundance of hides and skins.
