Sharon, a nursing student from Siongiroi in Bomet County, arrived at Kangema Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) on 16 October 2026 in tears of relief after her tuition fees were finally covered.

Her admission had been confirmed, but the payment promised by a man known only as “Mandazi” never materialised, leaving her stranded at home and at risk of losing her place.

Kipkoech Evans, described by the report as a well‑wisher, responded to Sharon’s plight and pledged to sponsor her nursing education at Kangema KMTC.

The emotional moment of Sharon stepping through the campus gates was shared on Facebook by Koech Manasseh, who noted the collective joy of those present.

Manasseh’s post highlighted that the weeks of uncertainty and tears were replaced by relief and renewed hope for Sharon’s nursing career.

Sharon is now officially enrolled and has begun her training, marking the start of a career she had worked toward despite financial barriers.

The story underscores a broader challenge in Kenya where many talented students depend on promises or external support to fund tertiary education, and a single broken pledge can jeopardise years of effort.
