Touched by the good performance of a girl said to have been abandoned by relatives, Chuka Girls' High School staff have settled a fees balance of Sh60,000.
Fancy Kathambi, who attained grade B+ in last year's Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examination, claimed she was rejected by his biological father after her mother remarried. She was also chased away from their home.
The school's chief principal Florence Mutwiri said at one time, the girl could not return to school after she had been asked to go home for fees.
