Faith Nyagaki suffered a mental condition when she was barely one year old but that did not stop her from achieving her dreams and exploit her swimming talent. When her name was called out at Kariti Stadium during Mashujaa Day celebrations in Mukurwe-ini, Nyeri county, everyone was curious to hear what Governor Mutahi Kahiga was about to announce about her.
But when she stood up the crowd cheered after Mutahi praised and awarded her for the determination she exhibited during Special Olympics World Games in Abu Dhabi in Dubai and brought home a gold medal in swimming. Looking at her you would easily disregard her but Nyagaki’s name will be inscribed in world’s history as a superb swimmer.
