Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, her mother, Grace Njuguna, proudly spoke of the successful event attended by her family members.
"It was a wonderful event, and we showed up to support our own as a family. We are always proud of her since she began this philanthropic journey four years ago," the mum of three said.
Njuguna carefully shared her daughter Wangari began her philanthropic journey in 2020 when COVID-19 hit the country, and many households were affected.
She said her daughter was heartbroken to see her peers suffer, with some not being able to pay their school fees.
"My daughter was greatly moved with compassion to help the families. She approached us with her idea, and as parents, we supported her. Her first charity work was giving the neighbours food and vegetables, which went well. Her generosity did not stop there as sometimes he would follow a pupil with a torn school uniform and offer a hand to mend their uniform," the elated mum said.
Njuguna, who resides in Ongata Rongai, Kajiado county, said she had seen tremendous growth in her child.
"She had been a model before, and I think from that exposure, she saw the sufferings of many children. Her fire to help the needy in slums and help them get an education has never died. She continues to make us all proud, and we are delighted with her," Njuguna said.
In a similar story, young model Aileen Akinyi touched the lives of mothers and young girls as she celebrated her 11th birthday.
She took her Mashinani Girl Child Empowerment programme to West Nyakach, Kisumu county, where she delivered sanitary pads and innerwear.
Social media users flocked to her comment section to applaud her for the fantastic gesture as she turned a year older.
