This money will mean financial independence for my family and my siblings.
I lost my parents when I was 16years old. Before their death, I was still schooling and my dream was to became a nurse. But things change after my mother's death. All the relatives I had thought will help me with school fees started giving me excuses to the extend that I just decided to drop out.
I was hopeless, until I mean my husband who promised me heaven. We got married, and I moved in with my siblings because nobody did not want to rise them. At the moment, I encourage my young sister to continue with her education and I do what I can to provide for her but I do not reach the expectations. At the moment, I have not finish paying school fees of about K5000 ($4.50) meant for last term.
Being enrolled into the program, will help me to start a business which I am sure , from the business I will be able to support my siblings financially. And also the money will help my husband to buy biscycle which will be use for biscycle taxi.
If all those will be meant, my family will be financially independent.
