Many individuals often celebrate and commend students who excel in their academic endeavors. Conversely, those who consistently receive low marks are seldom acknowledged, and, in many instances, people are hesitant to associate themselves with such students.
However, a recent shift in this narrative occurred when Sue Gachambi, a Kenyan businesswoman based in the United States, expressed her love and support for students who did not perform well in the 2023 KCPE (Kenya Certificate of Primary Education) examination.
On Thursday, January 18, Sue Gachambi made an announcement, declaring her willingness to provide support to any female student who had performed poorly in the 2023 KCPE. She stated her readiness to sponsor one candidate who did not fare well in the national examination, expressing a desire to uplift and empower such individuals.
The specifics of the sponsorship that Gachambi intended to offer were not disclosed in her statement. Nevertheless, her benevolent gesture resonated with many Kenyans who flooded the comments section of her post with praises and commendations.
While some netizens applauded Gachambi for her generosity and compassion, others were curious about the nature of the sponsorship she intended to provide. Notably, there were also individuals, including comedian Mammito, who suggested disparagingly that the businesswoman’s support might be limited to teaching certain undesirable activities to the girls she aimed to assist.
