Baby Njeri, a primary school student who went viral after being filmed selling maize in Thika at night, has received three scholarship offers.
Following the sharing of the video that was captured by a motorist, two Members of Parliament and comedian Erick Omondi offered to support her education.
On her part, Thika Town MP Alice Ng'ang'a offered the student a scholarship at Westridge School in Thika.
Consequently, with the help of philanthropist Karangu Muraya, Baby Njeri was admitted to the institution on Friday.
"This Morning I received a call from my great friend Hon Alice Ng'ang'a who has offered to sponsor Baby Njeri's education.
"This beautiful girl, will from the coming Monday by the grace of God, join more than 20 students who were sponsored by the school management early this year," Muraya stated.
Additionally, Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino offered to support her education, further promising to help the parent set up a business.
Owino expressed that Baby Njeri's situation reminded him of his own struggle when he was in primary and secondary school.
"This Girl leaves Kisiwa Primary School in Thika every evening to go sell boiled maize by the roadside which reminds me of when I used to sell chang’aa every day after school in my whole primary and secondary school life.
"These challenges are temporary for we serve a living God who is a God of turn around. If He turned the Red Sea into dry land for Israelites to pass, he will turn around your challenges into solutions," the MP noted in a Facebook post.
On the other hand, Eric Omondi offered to conduct a funds drive on his online platforms to raise money for educating the young girl.
