Anna Scholar Sommy, headteacher of Likii Primary School in Nanyuki, has been transferred to a role with the Teachers Service Commission in Laikipia East after five years of quietly organising funds for a student’s secondary education.

Sommy mobilised fellow teachers to pool money for Joseph Njoroge’s bus fare and daily upkeep while he attended Lenaka School, where he earned a B+ in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education.

When Njoroge’s KCSE results did not secure a university place, Sommy contacted well‑wisher Ndungu Nyoro in late 2021 to request additional support, enabling the student to continue his studies.

Five years later, Joseph is days away from graduating from Maseno University and has written to thank both Nyoro and Sommy, inviting them to his ceremony.

Sommy confirmed that the years of selfless work had not gone unnoticed, and the Teachers Service Commission rewarded her with a promotion from headteacher to a TSC posting in Laikipa East.

Ndungu Nyoro, who publicised the story, urged followers to celebrate Sommy’s dedication, noting that teachers who invest beyond classroom hours often see long‑term benefits for their pupils.
