A form two drop-out emerged as the week eight winner of one
million Kenya shillings in the ongoing Coca-Cola Company’s national consumer
promotion dubbed Changamkia Mamili.
Japheth Karisa a 23-year-old gardener in Shanzu Kilifi
County won the one million after purchasing a Fanta bottle with a yellow crown.
The first born in a family of three had been trying his luck
in the promotion with no avail.
“I have always made it a habit of enjoying Fanta each and
every afternoon as I breeze from the blistering heat, and I always tried out my
luck but with a target of winning bundles or the other cash prizes up for
grabs,” he said.
The jubilant winner added, “I am very happy to be the lucky
winner. My family is going to benefit a lot from this money and I will keep
participating in hope of winning more.”
Karisa, who is the sole breadwinner for his family, has big
plans following his win. Having dropped out of secondary school in form-two in
the year 2009 due to lack of fees, he does not want a recurrence of the same
with his siblings.
His plans are to help pay school fees for his two siblings.
The second born is currently in form-two and the younger sister recently
completed primary school but lacked school fees to begin her secondary school
education, now see the light at the end of the tunnel as they have renewed
hopes of finishing their O-level education.
He added, “I now have big plans for my family, educating and
relocating them from here (Shanzu) and building a nice house for them. My
personal plans being venturing into a business to sustain myself. It is indeed
a blessing for me and our family.”
Lucy Odour, Marketing Manager Kenya, Coca-Cola – CEWA said,
“Fulfilling our consumer’s needs is the sole reason we are in business, and
it’s in our business undertaking to also reward them fully for believing and
