Since joining Form One last year, TikToker Alice Chebet aka Kienyeji Pro Max, has struggled to stay in school. Kienyeji Pro Max Returns to Form One After Well-Wishers Offered to Pay Her School Fees Chebet faced numerous challenges, including fee arrears and a one-hour trek to school each way due to a lack of nearby educational facilities. That was until a group of fans got wind of her heartbreaking story and launched an initiative to provide her with a better education opportunity. Chebet starts afresh After weeks of searching, the well-wishers managed to secure a place for her at Itigo Girls High School. Businesswoman Irene Cheptab Oret, who led the initiative, told TUKO.co.ke that Chebet agreed to backtrack because of the challenges she’s been facing. “Financial issues have been hindering her from concentrating on school. You know she has never sat for any exam since she joined Form One,” Irene said. Given that she had found an opportunity to right the wrongs, she was ready to start afresh to change her life and that of her family. Kienyeji Pro Max content to continue Arguably, the most welcome news is that her content won’t stop as the school allowed her producer be visit and create videos about her school life. Irene expressed that the idea is for her to balance education with content as the latter expires fast, but education remains forever. “She has been doing content for the last two years, yet her financial state hasn’t improved much. Knowledge will benefit her,” the philanthropist added. Irene noted that Chebet will do clearance at her current school on Monday, shop and travel on Tuesday, and then report to the new school on Wednesday. Where it all began In April, the philanthropists visited her at her home in Kipchiria, Mt Elgon, in a heartwarming display of community support. An emotional Chebet expressed gratitude for the community’s willingness to unite and uplift her needy family. As of the time of filing the report, the group had raised KSh 176,000 towards the course, but they hope for more input from the public or sponsors. Chebet expressed gratitude for her father’s hard work and the support she has received from her social media family since last year.
