In a country where school fees are often the barrier between genius and oblivion, the Kenya Power Foundation is celebrating a massive return on investment. Two beneficiaries of its scholarship program have posted stellar results in the 2025 KCSE exams, proving that talent is universal, even if opportunity is not.

The star of the moment is Samuel Ngule from Starehe Boys’ Centre, who scored a straight A. He is joined in the winner's circle by Claria Atieno from Starehe Girls’, who secured a strong B+. Their success is a beacon of hope for thousands of students from humble backgrounds relying on corporate philanthropy.

More Than Just Grades

The stories behind the grades are even more compelling. In Meru, another student, Eddy Mutembei, scored a perfect 84 points (Straight A). His education was sponsored by the Mwiti Foundation after his financial struggles touched the heart of well-wisher Bob Mwiti.

• The Mentorship Model: Mwiti didn't just pay fees; he offered mentorship and an internship. "We walked the journey together," Mwiti shared. "Now, Eddy is ready to conquer the world."
• The Challenge: As Grade 10 admissions kick off, these success stories highlight the critical need for more scholarship funds to ensure no bright child is left behind due to poverty.
