A video of strangers helping a TikToker who dropped apples along the street in Eldoret has restored faith in Kenyans.

Are Kenyans kind?

The clip shows the TikToker walking along Oloo Street near Dalsa Centre before tripping over a high step erected along the pavement.

To break his fall, he violently swung a basket he was carrying, and a bunch of apples fell out and scattered into the street and gutter.

In a grand gesture, passers-by took a moment to assist him in collecting apples that fell along their path.

Once content that he had retrieved a sizeable number, the TikToker continued his journey.

Touched by their kindness, netizens said their act was testimony that Kenyans are generally good-hearted and humane.

How did Kenyan police officer help woman?

In early May, a police officer was praised for her kindness after she stumbled upon a pregnant woman in distress.

The officer, identified only as Aludah, said she found the lone woman in labour by the roadside.

Despite being in a rush due to night shift rotation, Aludah took it upon herself to rush the woman to the hospital.

Touched Facebook users praised the officer for going beyond her call of duty.
