Jaramogi
Oginga Odinga, born in the second decade of this century,
devoted his life to the service of this great nation Kenya
and the people of Africa. As a teacher, leader, statesman
and pan-Africanist, he showed, both by his words and by
the example of his life, the way forward, to truth, to
peace and to justice.
He strove
for excellence in all things and never compromised his
principles and ideals. His commitment to integrity, and
his courageous determination to stand firm in defence
of what he knew was right, guided his life. His outpouring
sympathy with the poor and disadvantaged in society was
immeasurable. During his life time, he was a benefactor
of many orphans and other disadvantaged Kenyans.
He had
the highest respect for education and academic achievement.
In honour of this great man, the Jaramogi Foundation continues
with his life's work and espouse the universal values
of social justice, respect for human rights, pursuit of
peace and unity and support for people centred development.
