Meet graduate with distinction in mathematics who is pushing cart for survival

There is a common saying; when life gives you a lemon instead of an orange, you can make lemonade out of it. But what happens when life doesn’t give you an orange nor a lemon?

This is the situation Kelvin Makachia Osore has found himself after searching for formal employment in futility.

Makachia Osore, 25, and a graduate from Kenyatta University is currently surviving by pushing a cart and other odd jobs in Soweto area, Nairobi. Mr. Makachia, who graduated from the institution in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, tried finding a job, but he was not able to secure one.

“I have tried sending my applications to more than 200 companies, but no reply is forthcoming,” says Mr. Makachia, who also claims to have visited many companies in Industrial area seeking any available job without success.
