"I separated with my wife in the year 1985. Life has really been difficult since then. It has been difficult working on my own and not having a family to share my joy and even the sad times with. I am looking forward to remarrying now that I have some little income that can sustain a family."

Jackline
enrolled.
"My parents passed on while I was still very young. I was in standard four when my mother passed on and my father passed on when I was in standard eight. I had always desired to complete my studies and this dream was almost cut short when I was left an orphan at a very tender age. I was left under the care of my aunt who struggled to pay my school fees all through until I cleared my form four studies. Completing my secondary education is one of my greatest achievements."
