The family of 2020 KCPE top candidate Faith Kawee Mumo is appealing for financial aid to enable their daughter to join Form One.
Faith was the best performing candidate in last year’s KCPE exam after scoring 433 marks out of the possible 500.
Her parents are unable to raise the Sh120,000 required for her admission to Kenya High School and are appealing to well-wishers to come to their rescue.
They fear Faith, who sat for her KCSE exam at Kari Mwailu day and boarding primary school in Makueni County, may not join Form One on August 2nd if they fail to raise the school fees.
Faith’s father Paul Mumo lost his accountancy job last year following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic which pushed companies into laying off workers.
Mumo ventured into small-scale horticulture farming after losing his job and the family largely depends on the little money his wife earns from her tailoring shop.
Faith, who has three siblings, one in Form Two, one in Class 8, and the lastborn in Grade 4, dreams of becoming a neurosurgeon.
Corporates and well-known personalities had pledged to help pay the girl's fees but only former Starehe MP Bishop Margaret Wanjiru honored her pledge and sent a Sh26,000 cheque.

I have commented about this @ John Wanjohi several times and other writes that whenever they write such cases that require fundraising or public participation, the writer must exercise common sense and give all the contacts/Mpesa, bank accounts etc required for people to send their contributions. How hard is that? If they are able to get such personal information about a family, why can’t they go further to inquire of possible avenues to help them? I am sure this message will not be posted but I am gonna save it’s screenshot for follow up! Journalists, you can do better!
Kenya High fee for one year is around 50k. Why are they trying to pay 120,000?
Mumo and Family need to set up a Gofund account right away.
Please avail the contacts to send the money.
@Dick Moses. Thats a good idea. I wonder if there are accountable groups out there that can set up scholarship funds as well. With good and honest management of the funds am sure that they would find willing contributors.
How can one reach the family?
Matungulu constituency CDF will directly pay the shs 120000 to Kenya High School.
can't Kenya with all that money it has give scholarships to the top best students that they can produce? who runs our country? such a shame! money get sucked into pockets that they don't deserve. there should be money set aside for such situations, this is a no brainer! do we need to teach leaders how to run our country?
In fact as a motivation, the best student in college level exams should be schooled for free.
then when they run out of kenya and become successful, they are always referred by their kenyan roots as if kenya was all there for them! these kids are watching! if u don't give the best to the brightest you have, you're going to lose them all. time to wake up and live like its a new century. that old shit that u keep doing over and over again stinks!
I went to a day school and passed well. Could not afford expensive high school
We can assist if family can avail an mpesa number or gofundme account. This is the time also to ask where bursary fund go if they are unavailable to such deserving cases.
Bursary funds have already been spent in the night clubs by the area MP, with a little help from the greedy chief! Those are the real hustlers and not the needy student!
However, let us know where the money need to be sent fir the girl to hit to school!
Where is Sonko?
Name those corporates and well known personalities they will not repeat it once their lies are exposed.There is a lot of unanswered questions she has been accepted to a national school the Kenyan government can offer her a scholarship .Education CS and your minions this is your time to shine.Where is her MCA ,women rep or village chief all these characters can pool their resources to ensure she completes high school and not these fundraisers being suggested what will happen the next term or year .A mind is a terrible thing to waste
To MWAKILISHI,I suggest that you open up an account under mwakilishi for assisting various KenyaN citizens in GENUINE financial stress.Most of your readers,and comentators are some times frustrates by scanty information given for families, or individuals that need genuine assistance.
A figure like 1200 dollars could be raised in seconds.This is something worth looking into. As a PSA (public service assistance)from Mwakilishi.
All you have to do is say today we are doing a fundraising for ...... who excelled in her/his exams but needs SH SH SH, to fullfil his/her dream.Well wishers,and supporters,please donate to XXXX all donations shall go to the aforementioned purpose ...
Iam personally assisting astudent who did very well in his exams but could not afford the required fee.And I "MET"him through Mwakilishi. Those who read my comments might remember. Yes, My student is doing very well,and just send me areport card with all As. Iam very proud of assisting him.He wants to be adoctor,and I have no doubt he will achieve his goal
True to that. Avail the go fund me account or mpesa or bank account.
Breaking news. She got a bursary from the CDF.
If this fee is for a single term, then it's way too expensive. Nonetheless, i'd still find it overpriced if it's for the whole academic year. If Education is the key, there's no reason why it shouldn't be made affordable to everyone. Over to you, dear Mr Next President Sir.
Kenya High charges around 50k per year. Where as it's good to offer assistance, it's also good to be truthful while soliciting for help.
How can i send mpesa to the the lady for fees?
How can one help the young lady with tuition.
Please let us know.
