A full university scholarship at the East African University where he will pursue a course in Sales and Marketing is among the goodies that were presented to the teenager during the service.

“I want to announce that Kaluma Boy will be joining the university,” Kiengei announced amid cheers from the congregation.

Dr Christopher Mutembei is the Vice Chancellor of the East African University, and this morning, he has confirmed that Kaluma Boy has been granted a full scholarship in the East African University, and Kaluma Boy will undertake a course in Sales and Marketing to enhance his skills in digital marketing.

The family’s sustainable financial well-being was also considered with well-wishers contributing generously to a posho mill and a shop.

More than Sh2 million was raised towards the initiative in less than 30 minutes.
