She says education is the only way to bring them out of the poverty.
“My wish is that my son may proceed with his studies beyond form four,” she said.
While regretting for the state of her life, Wanjiru says if she was well off then her son could not undergo such suffering.
“If it were my wish and if I were able, I could have paid for him but with the struggles here and there and his father not financially stable then we have a huge burden but we hope God will one day do his will,” she said.
As a mother, Wanjiru hopes one day a well wisher will come to their rescue and save her son by paying school fees.
