Damaris was referrred to us by Pendekezo Letu Rehabilitation Centre when she was eleven years. According to Pendekezo she was referred to them by some well wishers who were their neighbours after the death of her grandmother. According to her history it’s very hard to trace her relatives since her mother and grandmother died when she was very young. Damaris attended her primary and secondary education at the Ngong Huruma Schools. Her class of 2013 was the first secondary class in Ngong Huruma secondary. She later enrolled at the Vera Beauty & Fashion College where she graduated with a Diploma in Hairdressing.
