Khasoa Wakhungu

Khasoa Damari was born in Kuywa, a small village in Western Kenya. She finished her high school    education and went on to complete her A-Levels at St. Mary’s Lwak near Kisumu. It was at St. Mary’s that she saw a library for the first time and was astounded.  It had been a struggle for her to get money to buy books and the thought that there could be a place where people read for free was incomprehensible.  Fueled by her own childhood desires for books, Khasoa has invigorated our library project and truly made us believe that we are on the right path. Khasoa holds a Masters Degree in Education Administration and Urban Studies and Planning from Portland State University. Khasoa enjoys gardening, traveling, and reading.
