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.
