Catholic Diocese of Machakos Bishop Norman King’oo has urged society to help educate children from low-income families so they can attain their dreams.
Bishop King’oo, who is set to retire this year, said in his early days, he helped educate many children and has never lacked resources, as God has continued to bless him through others.
Speaking yesterday at Kinyui Catholic church in Matungulu constituency, the Bishop said true faith was about helping others.
“I educated many young people in my early days, and I have never lacked,” he said.
He urged privileged neighbours to assist children in the neighbourhood who may be facing challenges in financing their education.
“There are many things we can do, but I assure you, if you help a needy neighbour, you will never lack resources. We can do something for someone,” he said.

Bishop King’oo called on the faithful to forgive and tolerate each other for peaceful coexistence.
At the same time, addressing the faithful at the same church, Matungulu MP Stephen Mule urged youths and Form Four leavers in the Ukambani region to apply for and obtain National ID cards in readiness for the 2027 National Elections.
He lamented that the youth always fail to obtain ID cards and voter cards in time, yet complain afterwards that elections have been rigged.
”We have the numbers to change the political direction of this country as long as all those who have attained the age of 18 years and above acquire a national identity card and register as voters,” the lawmaker said, who is also a doctor.
