A friend of my mother had heard about HELB. In Nyeri County, I come from a village in Karima, where not many of us know about HELB. Personally, I had never heard about HELB. I learnt about it when I became a university student. I feel a lot of sadness that in this country we continue to have many university students--- In my own county of Nyeri, many parents, when their children get good grades such as A (plain) A (minus) they run around panicking that they will not be able to pay university fees without the knowledge that there exists a fairly good programme, the HELB that supports our university students to study."}
