Kemo is begining his third year of being sponsored by ECPK.
Kemo’s mother, who has never had any education and can't read or write, works hard cleaning sheep pens and other low paying jobs. Her first two sons were sent to school and she couldn’t afford to keep them in long enough to graduate. When Kemo went to school, the teachers commented that he was a particularly bright student. After a few years, Kemo was sent home numerous times when his mother was unable to pay the fees. Times were hard, and his mother realised she was, again, unable to continue the education of yet another son.
Because of Kemo’s commitment to school and his giftedness for it, his mum began looking for help. She found Barbara from KINI who lived nearby and asked if Kemo could be sponsored to continue school. Barbara talked to Carole and ECPK provided the funding. Kemo was sent to Massai Christian Academy in Kilgoris.
