Reverend Samuel's Kids

About Reverend Samuel

Rev Samuel Mulinge was born in the year 1932 to Canon Paul Nzimbi and Martha

Nzimbi. His father was instrumental in establishing the Anglican churches in the county

of Kitui Eastern Kenya. Growing up in a family of 8, Rev Samuel was enrolled to a

teaching school by his father where he pursued mathematics and English. Upon

graduation he took on the position of a school principal in a local school. He at the same

time was ordained as a Reverend in the Anglican church of Kenya Kitui county. Rev.

Samuel would end up educating all of his 8 siblings. His position as a school principal

played a key role in shaping young men and women in his village of Tungutu. Up-to-

date, many owe their careers to him. He ensured no kid was left behind and educated

parents on the importance of education. He supported girl education by educating his

seven daughters and strongly opposing early marriages that were quite apparent during

that time. Through his leadership, both girls and boys were given equal opportunities to

succeed in life. Rev Samuel was known as a stern disciplinarian, generosity, his love

for family and a genuine smile that was always contagious. He was promoted to glory in

the year 2009 at the age of 75. To uphold his legacy and love for education, Rev Samuels

kids non-profit was established to continue to provide educational scholarships for both

girls and boys especially in the village of Tungutu Easter part of Kenya. This scholarship

programme targets both bright boys and girls that would otherwise not achieve success in

life owing to poverty and inability to afford high school and college. May Rev Samuel

continue to rest in peace as his legacy of education for all continues.
