Which degrees does Fay hold?
According to Henry Kibiwott Chebii, Chumbaa earned her first degree in Sociology from the University of Nairobi.
While the milestone felt “normal” to Fay, to her family and community, it was a moment of immense pride.

The graduation celebration was anything but ordinary. Determined to honour her hard work and resilience, Fay’s family pulled off a surprise that left the crowd in awe.
Fay's milestone inspired community
They presented her with a brand-new car as a token of their love and pride.
“To my youngest sister, our dear Lasty, congratulations on earning your second degree, a Bachelor’s in Nursing. The whole family couldn’t be prouder of you. We love you so much and can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll do,” her brother said in a heartfelt tribute.
For many in Chemanywes, Fay’s journey is a testament to the power of education and determination.

Daughter refuses car gift from mother
In a story with a sad ending, a mother who had abandoned her daughter 15 years ago tried to gift her a car on her graduation, but it backfired.
In a video that went viral on social media, the mother accompanied the car with a handwritten card explaining her past decisions, regrets, and a desire to make amends.
However, the estranged daughter declined the expensive gift, maintaining that it was too late to repair the bond and that she didn't need it.
