Hussein
enrolled.
"I live with my brother and my nephew. Our parents passed on when I was 12 years old. We lived under the care of our relatives who were also struggling financially. My childhood has been tough. When I became of age(20 years) and completed my primary school studies, I had to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of my younger brother. My sister then passed on and left his son who is now my responsibility with the help of other relatives. With the financial struggles, I have gone through a lot of stress in my life. I am a motorcycle taxi rider and what I get is not enough to support all our needs. Growing up as an orphan and shouldering the responsibilities as the elder one is what has been my biggest hardship."
