Ruth Nampa Losurum

Ruth Nampa's education would have ended after 9th grade without financial assistance.  Her father died when she was a year old, leaving two wives and 11 children.  Her mother never enrolled in school, and her family's survival depended on her paternal grandparents, who had planned to have her married off.  But she was a very bright student, and an MGEF scholarship saved her.  She graduated from secondary school in November 2008 with a B+ on the national test, and in 2010 enrolled in the Faculty of Agriculture at Egerton University to earn a Bachelor of Science Degree in Agricultural Economics.
