The video, which showed Njeri selling maize by the roadside at night while wearing her school uniform, touched the hearts of many Kenyans.
Njeri was working to support her family, and her determination struck a chord with people across the country.
The video led to an outpouring of support from well-wishers who were moved by Njeri’s situation.
People came together to offer help, and the donations poured in, allowing her family to make much-needed improvements to their lives.
Njeri’s mother, Mama Njeri, shared the positive impact of this generosity, revealing that they used the funds to buy land and build a house.
The family’s new home, located in Makongeni, is now nearing completion, marking a major milestone for them.
Mama Njeri expressed her deep gratitude to Kenyans for their kindness and support during their time of need.
Embakasi East MP Babu Owino was one of the people who offered to help Njeri after seeing the viral video.
He was particularly touched because Njeri’s story reminded him of his own difficult childhood, where he sold chang'aa (an illegal alcoholic drink) to help his family.
Babu Owino, recognizing Njeri’s resilience, pledged to sponsor her education and help her parents start a business to improve their financial situation.
He shared his own journey of overcoming obstacles and encouraged Njeri to stay strong, emphasizing that challenges are only temporary.
Through this experience, Njeri’s future looks brighter, and her family’s situation has improved thanks to the overwhelming support they received.
