Being a headmaster in a poor, conflict ravaged village in Elgeyo Marakwet, William Yego came up with a simple yet very effective solution to keep pupils in school.
All upper primary school students would be boarders and parents could pay school fees with whatever they had, maize, beans, ndengu, mangoes, transport services, posho mill services etc. The results; the school has more than doubled the number of pupils going to national schools and in 4 years not a single pupil has dropped out for lack of school fees.
