A top German model, Anne Sophie has announced that she will be paying full scholarship for two students from Children’s Garden Home and School in Nairobi.

Speaking during a visit to the school, Sophie challenged local celebrities to also reach out to the less fortunate children through education sponsorship, especially those from poor backgrounds.

Sophie who has been in the industry for more than 10 years and modeled for some of the top international brands like Vogue, Celine and Vivienne Westwood, promised to mobilise her European colleagues in the industry to support needy children in the country. 

“We should use our positions in the society to help the less fortunate children,” she added.

She further expressed her love for Kenya and said she would be visiting often to give back to the society.

The two students who will benefit from the scholarship Aisha Mwajuma and Esther Njoki were brought up in Children’s Garden Home and School and are waiting to be admitted in college.

On his part the director of Children’s Garden Home and School, Moses Ndun’gu welcomed the gesture saying it would go a long way in helping underprivileged children in the society.

According to him, most of the children are from the slums of Kibera, Kawangware and Kangemi.
