40-Year-Old Richard Njenga, a resident of Heshima Estate in Kiamana Ward in Bahati Constituency, has an inspiring story that proves the age-old adage true, that “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” At 40-years-old, Richard never completed his primary school education. But after 25 years, Richard was determined to achieve his goals and enrolled in St Lwanga Primary School. Last year, he completed the KCPE exam with flying colours.
With education being a top priority of mine in transforming and empowering Bahati residents, Richard’s story serves as an inspiration to all those from a disadvantaged background. I was truly humbled to hear of his commitment to realising his dreams despite the obstacles he faced.

It is an undeniable truth that no matter the hardships that you may encounter on your path to success, if you remain focused and determined then your goals can be achieved. It is also important to remember that your dreams are valid, and it is never too late for a willing heart.
My office is committed to supporting Richard and many others, who are struggling to raise school fees, in order to ensure that Bahati residents have access to basic education, as mandated by the Kenyan Constitution.
