Two orphans who sat for their Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) last year have resulted to stay at home for lack of a sponsor.
Matheka Mwanzia and Nduvo Munyao who sat for their KCPE last year at Kananie Primary School and Kwamboo Primary School respectively have been looking for people to support their secondary education.
The two children are not related in any way and they scored 301 and 302 respectively. They were both coincidentally admitted to join Ndoo Secondary School in Machakos County.
Mwanzia lives with his aging grandmother in Kananie village and cannot afford even the very basic needs for reasonable livelihood.
In an interview with this reporter, Mwanzia's grand mother, Joyce Kyiende, said Mwanzia parents died 10 years ago.
“At the time when the parents died he was very young. They are three in their family. The other two are at least doing something to make ends meet,” said Kyiende.
Kyiende who is apparently 80 has no source of livelihood hence depend on well wishers and a church for her daily bread.
Nduvo Munyao on the other hand neither has a home nor anybody to call a relative.
He has been raised up at Athi River based Children Home where he lived while undergoing their primary education.
Kyiende is now calling on well wishers help her grandson access secondary school education.
She expressed her fears that despite the fact the boy performed well in the KCPE examinations, he might lose the opportunity to join the school, hence failing to realise his child hood dreams.
