A group of fishermen in Busia County has donated more than Sh1.4 million of their savings to needy students seeking fees to join Form One. 

At least 214 students who excelled in last year’s Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) examinations have each received Sh7,000 from the group in Budalang’i and Funyula constituencies.
