About Me

I was born in a place called Nyahera which is only 1km from Kisumu city found in kisumu county in 1993. I was born in a family of eight siblings including my two parents. Two girls and four boys. Upon attaining six years old in 1999, i was enroled in Ulalo primary school for my pre- unit school which lasted for two years. I later proceeded to primary school in the year2000 in the same school where i jioned class one and completed my primary education after sitting for my class eight exams in the year 2008. I passed very well and later joined Sianda secondary school for my high school education which lasted for another four years. Trouble started in 2012 after i had finished my secondary level and passed with good points to enables me further my education but there wasn't enough financial support. Therefore I had to stop my education to enable my parents to used the little they had to support my other siblings reached my level. I started doing any casual work to support my family.
