Nafula Sharleen goes viral for secretly securing a US scholarship for her ex-boyfriend Kioko, proving that kindness can survive a breakup.

In a heartwarming tale that defies the bitter norms of modern breakups, a Kenyan woman has stunned the internet by revealing how she secretly orchestrated her ex-boyfriend’s move to the United States. Nafula Sharleen’s story is not one of romantic rekindling, but of a profound belief in human potential that transcended the end of a relationship.
The story, which has gone viral, dates back to 2014. Nafula had parted ways with Kioko, a brilliant but underprivileged young man from Nairobi’s Eastlands who had scored an A- in his KCSE but lacked the means to advance. While many would have blocked their ex on social media, Nafula quietly went to work, driven by a conviction that Kioko’s mind was too valuable to waste.
Nafula’s covert operation was meticulous. "I knew he wouldnt even know how to apply," she recalled. Without his knowledge, she:
When the acceptance letter arrived—complete with a full ride and visa paperwork—Kioko was floored. He is now thriving in the US, a destiny reshaped by the unseen hand of a woman who chose kindness over bitterness.
"It wasnt about proving a point," Nafula wrote. "It was about recognizing potential." In a world of toxic exes, Nafula Sharleen has set a gold standard for grace, reminding us that sometimes, the greatest act of love is simply helping someone else fly.
