Last week we were extremely sad to hear of the death of one of our former students, RuthJane Nyaboke Misati. RuthJane joined Kisima in 2015 and always gave her best in her studies, despite experiencing a number of health issues that caused her to miss a lot of school time. In 2019 she transferred to another school as she had been advised to move to a warmer part of the country, and it is there that she took her KCSE exams and scored a B+. She visited Kisima in June 2021 and spent some hours speaking to the students – her determination and her ability to persevere through many challenges were an inspiration to them in their different situations.

RuthJane then proceeded to university, whilst still struggling with her health, and it was while there that she was suddenly taken ill and died. We pray for her family and friends in their great loss and are thankful for her faith in God – her hopes for this life have been cut short, but she had an eternal hope.
