Speaking to TUKO.co.ke in June 2024, Bomet Teacher Mwalimu Daniel Mutai shared that Chepngeno was a talented athlete who was passionate about the 100-and 4000-meter hurdle races.

At the time, Mutai appealed to well-wishers to help the girl get placed in a high school. She was just sitting at home, and her parents had no hope of raising the money.

“She’s been selling vegetables till she managed to buy a bag. She’s been also running every morning, meaning she loves athletics, ” Mutai revealed.

Where is Ndurio Secondary School?

After Mutai’s passionate appeal online, his friend Rehema Brigid Chebet offered to help the young girl.

Faith was admitted to Ndurio Secondary School in Nandi county to pursue her education and attend athletic training camps.

“All her personal items and fees catered for all the years, and she will be given a scholarship abroad after sitting for her Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE),” said Mutai.
