The family of 15-year-old Sarah Barasa searches desperately for their daughter who vanished in Kitale while buying school supplies, amid disturbing allegations involving a local teacher.

The simple act of going to buy a ream of paper has turned into a nightmare for a family in Kitale. 15-year-old Sarah "Magogo" Barasa, a Form Three student at Hill School, has been missing since Tuesday, leaving behind a distraught family and a community gripped by fear. Her disappearance is the latest in a worrying trend of students vanishing just as schools reopen.
Sarah’s brother, Gilbert Wafula, recounts the last moments with haunting clarity. She left home with money for school supplies and never returned. "We have checked the shops, the friends' houses, the hospitals. Nothing," he says. The family admits that Sarah’s grades had slipped recently, a sign that something might have been troubling her, but they never imagined she would vanish.
A disturbing detail has emerged. The family alleges that a local teacher may have been "distracting" the young girl, a euphemism that hints at grooming or an inappropriate relationship.
The Barasa family is not sleeping. They are appealing to anyone with information to come forward. "She is just a child," her mother cries. "Whatever the problem is, we can fix it. Just come home."
As the sun sets over Kitale, a bed remains empty, a uniform hangs unworn, and a family prays that their "Magogo" is safe, somewhere, waiting to be found.
