In a miraculous turn of events, a 3-year-old child who had gone missing for six days in Narok County has been found alive — astonishingly inside a neighbor’s pit latrine. The toddler, whose disappearance sparked intense worry and community search efforts, was discovered weak but alive, having survived nearly a week without food or water.
According to viral social media reports, the child had fallen into an abandoned or unused pit latrine within a neighbor’s compound. The family, unaware of the child’s whereabouts, had scoured the village and nearby areas without success. It wasn’t until a local resident noticed a faint sound coming from the pit that authorities were alerted, leading to the dramatic rescue.
Images now circulating widely online show the young child lying in the dirt at the bottom of the pit and later being rescued by concerned locals and what appears to be a uniformed officer. The child, though visibly weak, appeared conscious and responsive during the rescue.
The incident has left many stunned at the child’s survival against overwhelming odds. Many online have described it as nothing short of divine intervention, with comments praising the child’s strength and resilience.
Local officials have yet to issue a formal statement, but the child is reportedly receiving medical attention and is in stable condition. The story serves as a powerful reminder for communities to secure potentially dangerous areas, especially those near homes where children play.
