Media personalities Janet Mbugua, Terryanne Chebet, and Amina Abdia have teamed up with Chipukeezy to mentor and aid a high school student who was filmed while drunk a few months ago.
The NACADA director on Monday visited the 15-year-old at her home in Karatina together with NTV’s The Trend host Amina.
Taking to his Instagram, Chipukeezy revealed that the girl had contemplated suicide after her video went viral.
“A few months ago a video showing a 15-year-old girl clearly drunk went viral. When she was on the verge of running away from home because of the video, contemplating suicide etc I took it upon myself as a Nacada Director to reach out and offer help where I could. I promised to offer mentorship, ensure she completes her high school education, receive the much-needed guidance and counseling and today, I’m so happy to say she’s doing so much better,” Chipukeezy said.
The comedian said he reached out to the media personalities who offered to pay for the girl’s school fees for a year each.
“I reached out to my sister @aminaabdirabar who not only joined me and came all the way to Karatina BUT she even offered to pay 1 year of her high school. It inspired me to do the same, I then called @officialjanetmbugua & @terryannechebet who both agreed to help and each paid fees for a year as well. Kindly note that the reason I reached out was not to reward her for drinking, but give her the mentorship she requires & to highlight the much needed discussion on alcohol affecting our youth across the country,” Chipukeezy said.
