Ruth Awuora, a 47-year-old woman in Vihiga County may be deaf but that has not stopped her from bringing hope and positivity to others.
Ruth lost her hearing ability at age 12 and her family members and people around her were shocked. "They thought it was witchcraft but with time they understood it was a call to serve the helpless cohort of the community," she says.
Since then she has devoted her life to reaching out to people living with disability and others in need.
Her earlier years were full of difficulties ranging from rejection to lack of school fees to fund her education. "I was very needy when I was in school until the National fund for disabled in Kenya came to my aid and helped me join Daystar University," she said.
