On Thursday, a student at the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) made headlines after revealing that her studies have been interrupted because her parents are not providing enough money for basic needs like food and rent.
In a heartfelt statement, the young student said she fears following the path of some friends who look for money from men. She stressed that she does not want to lose her virginity in exchange for financial support.
However, she shared her mobile phone number publicly, asking that any honest man living in Nairobi could host her so she can continue with her learning without facing financial difficulties.
She also added that her inbox on all social media platforms is open, inviting anyone willing to help to reach out to her directly.
The story quickly sparked discussions on social media, with many people emphasizing the importance of parents checking on their children in colleges and universities to ensure they have enough support for their basic needs.
