I have been struggling in life since I was Young. My parents died when I was 9 years old and I have passed in the hands of many relatives until I am an adult. I did not do well in my secondary school because of school fees problems. I had no one to pay my school fees in secondary school and therefore I had to leave classes, do some casual jobs so that I raise my school fees and go back to class again. Currently I finished my secondary school last year and obtained a mean grade of ' B' I cannot get my secondary school certificates because I have a fee balance of KES 41,000. Receiving this transfers means I will clear this debt of school fees and get my certificates. I will use the second transfer and join college to do a diploma in business and supply management. I believe my life will change if I fulfill to pursue my education career.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I started this motorcycle business 2 months ago and this has been the only source of revenue to me. I am getting KES 200 in a day and this is the only thing which has brought joy and happiness because I am wondering how I could be feeding myself if it were not for this business.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I cannot meet my daily basic needs because I am not working. I depend on motorcycle business of which we are operating one motorcycle for 2 riders. Its revenue cannot meet my house hold needs and therefore I depend on a single meal in a day .
