The lovely lady Charity Chebet had just graduated in a lovely ceremony attended by her parents when she tragically met her death in a landslide after returning home.
Speaking to NTV Uganda, a family member said he called Charity’s parents on Friday at around 10pm and they informed him that they were on their way home after the graduation.
“They had gone to Mulago Hospital for the graduation of their daughter. When I called him, they had crossed Jinja at around 10.pm. However, this morning at 6am, I received a call from one of the clan members who told me there had been a disaster,” he said.
Charity’s elderly parents survived the horrific landslide and were rushed to the hospital, whereas the graduate and her sibling were found dead after the disaster struck.
Sadly, this occurred less than 24 hours after she received her diploma in nursing and midwifery.
The landslide occurred on early Saturday, November 1, in Kapchorwa District in Uganda, leaving four people dead, including Charity and her sibling.
A video shared showed that the mudslide covered Chebet’s home, leading to her death.
Her fellow graduates have taken to social media to mourn her death, and others have even shared heartwarming videos from the graduation ceremony.
