Narok Boy Braves Disability, Walks Daily On His Knees To School

• Determined Isaac Kariuki was shown going to school, using his knees to walk, and he never complains about it
• Mwalimu Daniel Mutai advocated for early medical intervention and financial assistance to begin Kariuki's treatment, enabling corrective measures for his condition
• Kariuki was denied a supportive device due to age, making financial aid crucial for the costly treatment and giving hope for a better future

Narok - Every morning, a determined Isaac Kariuki gets ready for school just like any other child; he doesn't let the fact that he has to walk with his knees limit him.

Kariuki faces many risks

In an interview with TUKO.co.ke, Mwalimu Daniel Mutai said that Kariuki, who is in PP2 at Wamoja Academy in Mau Narok, has to go to school with a caregiver every morning.

In the evening, he is also picked up by the caregiver.

"He stands and walks using his knees and which poses a lot of challenges; not being able to go to the bathroom without assistance, walking during the rainy season and feeling pains in his knees," said Mutai.

Kariuki was referred to an orthopaedic consultant when he was one- year- old. His father, a casual labourer, cannot meet the required amount.

Early medical assessment can help

"We're calling for an early medical assessment for intervention in these early years. He needs KSh 20,000 to start his treatment," said Mutai.

Kariuki was not given a supportive device because of age (infant). He's still young and corrective measures can help.

"The parents need help for the treatment process to kick off; it's very expensive considering the background of the family. Let's put together our minds and hands to help this kid," she said.

The young man narrated his story to netizens disclosing that his stepdad allegedly injured him, and netizens were sympathetic.

Lawrence needs KSh 22,000 to offset his fees,, and the extra money would go to his uniform and upkeep.
