Nairobi, Kenya: Kipsang Lawi Towett, a young man who graduated from the Kenyan Methodist University with a nursing degree, has shared turning to selling electricity supplies after he failed to get a job.
Growing up, things were not very easy for Kipsang, and at some point he had to repeat the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exams three times because his parents couldn’t raise money for his high school fees.

Thanks to generous support from his community, Kipsang not only attended a posh school, but he was also able to graduate from university, something which seemed like a far cry for him before.
After graduation, things changed for the young man; he did not get a job immediately. Although it was not what he expected, the young man decided not to sit and wait.
“I started my own electronics repair business in Kitengela, which I currently run. At the same time, I continued with my studies, and I’m happy to say that I will be graduating this November with a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing. Looking back, my childhood was very difficult, and there were times I felt overwhelmed by the struggles we faced,”he said.
“But those experiences motivated me to work harder and keep pushing forward. Today, I am grateful for how far I’ve come. The journey hasn’t been easy, but it has taught me resilience, patience, and the value of never giving up. I’m in a much better place now, and I thank God for the progress I’ve made,”he added.
