What is Moringa School?

More than four years ago, Levis moved a lot when he went to school without the necessary things because his mother could not afford to buy them for him.

He met a kind-hearted principal who allowed him into the classroom, and Kenyans from all walks of life rushed to help him settle in the new school.
