The elder of the two, is a grade 2 pupil at Kabiyet township primary school.
Hon. Walter Kiplagat Teno, who is the area MCA yesterday took the kids to school at Kabiyet Primary to continue with their schooling. The two boys reside with their grandmother Mrs Salina Jemaiyo aged 79.
Last week, the MCA visited the home of the kids after their plight came to the forefront on social media.
Well wishers also came together to help the kids by making contributions. The initiative was spearheaded by Mrs. Hilda Malosoy who is a neighbour to the boys.
In a phone conversation with this writer, Mrs. Hilda confirmed that indeed the MCA had come through for the kids, bought uniforms and even paid their fees and school lunches.
According to the neighbour, the family still needs a descent house to shelter the boys and their aging grandmother.
