Kestin Gaicugu , a second year university dropout, has a reason to smile after a legislator promised to pay her school fees and also offer her a temporary job in his office.
Gaicugi dropped out of school due to the financial problems she encountered when she was meant to proceed for industrial attachment in Murang’a earlier this year.
Determined to go back to school, she decided to work in a quarry at Kianthang’a as a casual labourer despite the dangers in such places.
While at the quarry recently, Gaicugi received visitors from Kamashinani foundation.
South Imenti Member of Parliament (MP) Kathuri Murungi who is also the founder of the foundation offered to fund Gaicugi in her quest for education that was cut short six months ago.
The foundation has been saving vulnerable people in the society by funding learners from poor families and paying hospital bills for the vulnerable.
“Kamashinani foundation will support her in the pursuit of her dreams. Welcome to the warm Kamashinani family Gaicugi,” said Kathuri.
The girl hails from Nkumbo village in Mitunguu ward, South Imenti Constituency in Meru County. She is a student at Technical University in Mombasa pursuing a degree in Medical Laboratory Sciences.
