 Orphaned Girl appeals for help to join form one in Kisumu

A KENYA Certificate of Primary Education candidate has appealed for help to join form one at a secondary school within Kisumu County.

Rose Rachael Aketch who sat her KCPE Exams at Nyawara Primary school in Kisumu West Sub-county says she scored 342 marks and has received an admission letter to join St Teresa Kibuye Girls secondary school but has not been admitted due to lack of school fees and other items.

Aketch who is a partial orphan and stays with her aunt says she aspire to join the school she has received the admission letter to hence appealed to any well-wisher to come to her aid in ensuring that she pursue her secondary education.

She says life has never been possible for her since one of her parents passed on when she was a toddler.

“My main aim is to further my education in secondary school and I sincerely appeal to any well-wisher to come to my rescue and help in paying my school fees,” she says

Lilian Akinyi Oliech, aunt to Aketch says she begun staying with her at a tender age and has been supporting her education in primary since nursery school days.

She says she can’t afford taking her to secondary school because she can’t get the funds to further her education, adding that she will really appreciate any well-wisher to chip in and support the child.

“Her father passed on and I am the one who has been with her all along. We are kindly appealing to any well-wisher to help us raise school fees in support of her,” she says

Lilian who the the Aunt to the young girl can be reached via her cell phone number 0724 55 23 22 and she hails from South West Ward in Kisumu West sub-county within Kisumu County.

Linda Oguna who is her teacher at Nyawara Primary has described Aketch as a brilliant pupil who if given a chance can excel in secondary school.

Oguna says she is a well-behaved girl who is ready to learn, adding that she should be supported to realize her dream of joining secondary school.

“The young girl comes from a very vulnerable family and needs help to join secondary and we therefore appeal to anyone touched by her plight to help in any little way,” she says.
