Agony of a poor child

No one decides which family to be born in, whether rich or poor. Unfortunately, many are born in humble background, where families survive on God's mercy and grace. On the good side of it some geniuses bud from these families. Even data in KCPE and KCSE can attest to this. Behind their brilliant results lies the untold story of suffering and abject poverty.

For the lucky ones, well-wishers come in handy providing for them everything, for the unlucky ones, they maneuver through hardship, staying less time in school because they have been sent home to look for school fees. Sometimes they go hungry because their poor parents can't afford food. Some may resort to feast on sugarcanes or seek labor just to make both ends meet.
