Daphne was put forward by Mrs Langat, the principal of Londiani Girls’ High School. Daphne got an exceptionally high score from her primary school but her single mother could not afford the secondary school fees.
Daphne started at Londiani Girls in 2016 where Will and Shirley met her during her first year. She was placed there with another of the Trust’s scholars, Vicky.
She has had consistently good grades and when Will visited her at school in June 2019 he felt very encouraged that she would get to university. She was very outgoing and polite.
In 2020 Daphne earned a place at Mount Kenya University,from where she graduated at the end of 2023 having gained a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication.
