Where is Kaimosi Nursery School
In a video shared by @jeff_faddy, the young man revealed that he is the son of Rebecca Makhulu, a teacher at Kaimosi Nursery School in Hamisi County.
With a smile, he shared his story: “I live on the streets and sometimes stay with my sister Josephine. I do mjengo (construction) jobs and hang out with my friend Hector Sambuki.
I attended Kaimosi Primary School and later Friends School Kigama, where I completed Form Four. Despite some confusion, I’ve received support from churches.
They don’t know I’m in Kisumu, as I originally came from Gamadoi,” he added.
