Their love story started when they were in high school at Goshen high in Nakuru.

Simon Ndung’u and Margret Wairimu’s love bloomed in 2011 but after dating for a while, the two went separate ways after finishing their high school education.

Simon got a job in Nairobi whereas Margret joined the Nakuru teachers training college and life went on.

The two later reunited in September 2017 and started a family together after bumping into each other in Nairobi. From there they had their first daughter who is now four years old.

As Simon and his wife were trying to get their second child, they were blessed with five children: four girls and a boy.

The 28-year-old father works with 2NK as a long-distance driver and was making a trip from Nakuru to Nairobi when he received a call yesterday, informing him that his wife had delivered five babies.

His wife is 25 years old and together they have six children now.

When asked if they knew they were expecting five children he said her scan had shown they were expecting three babies but a last-minute scan indicated they were two more babies.

Ndung’u says that he is thankful to God for the blessing of those children but calls upon well-wishers to come to their aid as raising five children can be a big load if left with two people.

“My younger daughter is very happy about her siblings. It’s just that she has not met them yet because children are not allowed in the hospital,” he said

Ndung’u and his family live in Maili Sita close to Kiamaina Secondary.

According to Dr James Waweru an obstetrician at the facility, the children were born at 25 weeks and will be monitored at the hospital for now.
