Chipukeezy Philanthropy
Chipukeezy built a school, St. Martins Academy in his village in Tala, Kangundo to boost education. Chipukeezy says he wanted to build the school due to the experiences he had to go through because of not having a good education. He says that when he was young, education was not a priority simply because one could not afford it and if you could, getting a good grade was even harder due to the dilapidated state of the schools, therefore he had to take it upon himself to change that.
“Back at home I have this small project that am doing and today I confidently say that St Martins Academy in Tala, Kangundo is a fully registered primary school. Above all am happy that all the young people in my village have a place where they can study during day and night. I pray and believe that one day I will see the completion of this institution fully. Not forgetting the year 2017 the school provided KCPE 2017 candidates for the first time.

“To be honest, we agreed that whatever we wanted to do together would not work out, and it was a peaceful agreement. Tulikua tunaenda Canaan tukapata mamba. We moved on because there is more to life than just love and relationships. People should stop speculating things, but instead, let her move on with her life. She is free to be out there and get other people.”
