President János Áder on Tuesday visited a school, a hospital and a farm in Kenya funded by Hungary.
As part of his eight-day visit to the region, Áder visited the St. Joseph training centre in a poor district of Nairobi, which has received 280,000 US dollars in funding from the Hungary Helps government program to build and equip a wing for vocational training. The school trains 200 young people with disadvantaged backgrounds. It is planning to raise student numbers to 500.
The president also visited a hospital specialising in spinal surgery which has received medical equipment worth 188,000 dollars under joint Hungarian-Slovenian aid.
Áder also inspected a farm using and distributing VizOr, a Hungarian soil additive designed to reduce the water demand of plants.
