Geoffrey Mosiria, the Nairobi County Chief Officer for Citizen Engagement and Customer Service, has come to the aid of a young girl who was stranded on the streets after her mother was unable to raise the fees needed for her to join Grade 10.
In a video shared on his social media accounts on Friday night, January 16, 2026, Mosiria disclosed that he managed to fundraise Ksh 30,000 to cover the girl’s school fees, ensuring that she is now safe and able to continue her education.
“Tonight, I rescued a young girl who was stranded on the streets after her mother was unable to raise her school fees to enable her to join Grade 10,” Mosiria revealed.
“I managed to fundraise Ksh 30,000 to support her, and she is now safe.”
Mosiria to well-wishers
He urged anyone interested in supporting the cause or helping rescue more children from the streets to reach out to him through the mobile number he provided.
In addition, Mosiria emphasised that collective efforts can restore hope and give these children a chance at a better future.
“Anyone who would like to support this cause or help us rescue more children from the streets can always reach out through 0707 946 783,” he said.
“Together, we can restore hope and give these children a chance at a better future.”
Grade 10 admission
As Mosiria seeks to help the girl secure admission, the reporting period for Grade 10 learners joining senior secondary schools was extended by the government in a move aimed at ensuring that no child is locked out of the education system.
Education Principal Secretary Julius Bitok announced while overseeing the admission process at Alliance Boys High School on Thursday, January 15, 2026, and assured parents and learners that the extension would give more time for students who have yet to report.
The PS urged parents seeking transfers to first take their children to the schools they have been officially called to, noting that the placement and selection process was conducted transparently and fairly.
Further, Bitok stated that the number of learners reporting to senior schools has been steadily increasing and expressed confidence that the remaining students will report within the extended period.
“So far, we are confident , and the numbers are growing slowly. By tomorrow, these numbers will be up,” he said.
He further assured Kenyans that the government expects a 100 percent transition from Grade 9 to Grade 10, emphasizing that there are sufficient spaces available in senior secondary schools across the country.
“Our expectation is that by the end of this process, all students will have been placed successfully. We have enough spaces in Grade 10 senior schools,” Bitok affirmed.
