Damah comes from a relatively big, single parented nuclear family. Being the second born and with the first born not proceeded to high school, Damah thrived to be the ray of light for the family. After her primary schools, she got a letter to join Moi High school Kasigau. But there was the common problem, Finance. Yes, finances for school fees in the suburbs of Africa is a tone in the flesh. Many have suffered and without any hope of the future are still languishing in poverty. Her mum could not take her to school since her day labor payments from the jua kali food kiosks at Rukanga Market could only give them the basic needs.

Damah joined Moi high school, being an ABE Club fully sponsored student in 2011. She must have exercised the highest level of discipline in her four years of study. This is because, on overall, I could tress Damah as the only student who could work in the school during her vacation to at least have her pocket money. She could therefore use the library for her studies and curriculum coverage. She was determined and until her KSCE, had it not been for some other home issues which took her attention during her study time, Damah would have scored very good grade. With all these struggles, Damah attained a minigrade of C- in her KCSE.

Damah currently in her attachment program is happy for her progress so far. She is real focused to making sure that she attains her goal and puts smiles to her family.  She believes that one day her family will have a torch bearer.
