Purity Nkatha, a 32-year-old mother who got a B+ at Magumoni High School, Tharaka Nithi County. Ms Nkatha, a married mother of one, said she dropped out of Kisima Mixed Secondary School in Meru County in 2006 due to violence at home that saw her mother take her to live with a family friend. I went back to school in 2018 when Ms Kendi, who I have never met in person, offered to take me back to school. Kendi was paying school fees while my husband was paying fare and catering for my basic needs,” she told The Standard. Her story of how she had suffered and dropped out of school touched me so I said I will sacrifice some finances to ensure her dream of completing high school was actualised,” Kendi said.
