Three years ago, I started a youth group called young achievers with the sole purpose of empowering my fellow youths financially. My task is to look for casual jobs especially farm cultivation and then myself together with other group members carry out the task and then we split the payment amongst ourselves. Also I apply for county tenders and if successful we do the same. Three years down the line I have been able to empower 10 youths and this has impacted their lives positively. This for me is the achievement I am proudest of.
What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on furthering my post-secondary education and constructing a semi-permanent house for myself.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the morning when I wake up feeling well and attending school.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Last year I had to pause going to school due to lack of school fees. I stayed at home for 3 months praying for assistance to come from someone. When help finally came, I had missed many class lessons and I had a lot of catching to do. This for me is the biggest hardship I have ever experienced.
