Student narrates his ordeal after reporting to form one empty-handed 

Kabianga High Principal helps fatigued form one student after reporting to school empty-handed.

Form one student, Thomas Ekai from Kondele in Kisumu county shares his ordeal after reporting to Kabianga High School entirely on his own, without the company of his single father or any relative.

The student explained that his father’s financial instability hampers his ability to fund his education, compounded by his mother abandoning the family when he was just a young boy. 

Speaking in an interview with Ramogi TV, the student who scored an impressive 389 marks in KCPE, struggled to secure half of the bus fare to his high school. 

Despite applying for scholarships and reaching out to financial institutions for assistance, he is yet to receive any help. 

“The journey to secure funds for my school admission has been a personal struggle. I do not know who my mother is because she abandoned us when I was very young, and my father, without income, cannot support my education. Despite reaching out to organisations like Wings to Fly, Elimu, Family Bank, and KCB for sponsorships, none have been successful,” he recounted.

The young boy expressed his fear that, without the support of compassionate people, his aspirations for a future in medicine might crumble. “I humbly appeal to anyone with the willingness to help me pursue my education to please come forward. Presently, I find myself in a state of helplessness, and without assistance, my dreams are at risk of being shattered. My fervent prayer is that God sends someone to be my rescuer,” he added. 

Upon reporting to school, the security guards at the gate, sensing his fatigue, brought the matter to the attention of the school principal, Ezekiel Lagat. 

The principal was forced to offer the form one student breakfast upon recognising the physical and psychological fatigue. 

Touched by the story of the student, the school head pledged to facilitate his enrollment and learning journey. 

“Part of the journey was covered on foot. By the time he arrived, he was weary. I had to look for some breakfast for him to give him strength; he was just carrying a jacket. When I saw him, I was filled with a lot of pity and thought this was a case we should adopt as staff. If there is anybody out there who is willing to assist, feel welcome,” he said.
