BOMET SENATOR REACHES OUT TO ABIGAIL'S FAMILY:
A team from Bomet County Senator Hon. Hillary Sigei's office, alongside local leaders, visited the family of Abigael Chepkorir in Chebole. Findings from the assessment paint a deeply troubling picture of hardship caused by health-related challenges and a relentless cycle of poverty.
The family is currently landless and living in a rented house, which they have been unable to pay for over a year — a situation that continues to compound their struggles.
Abigael’s mother struggles daily, relying on dishwashing and cleaning jobs to sustain the household. She also cares for her aging mother and a mentally challenged sister amid the rising cost of living. With the added responsibility of caring for her brother, who was involved in an accident, the burden of providing for the family has largely fallen on her children, Abigael included.
"Together with other leaders and members of the community, I will be leading an empowerment initiative for the family to help restore their dignity.
I extend my sincere gratitude to Taach FM radio callers and management, Commissioner Joyce Korir, Sotik MP Hon. Amb. Francis Sigei, the Chebole business community, online friends led by Manasseh, and all well-wishers who have stepped forward in solidarity.
As soon as I am back in the country, I will personally visit the family to stand with them and further support the ongoing efforts." Hon. Hillary Sigei, Senator, Bomet County
