About Me

I am Rose Anyango Okinyi, I was born in 1976 in Kasgunga Ward, Mbita Sub County of Homa Bay County. I was the 6th born in a family of 7 children. My father was a fishermen and my mother was an house wife. I was brought up in a very loving and disciplined family.

I went to public - funded schools until I completed my primary school, but I did not continue with my education due to lack of funds to pay the school fee. I therefore opted for marriage in 1992 and I have 6 children. The 1st born has completed High School and waiting to join College to pursue Clinical Medicine. My 2nd born daughter has joined College and pursuing Certificate Course in Teaching. My farm business is doing very well and it's what is helping me and my husband in meeting food, medical and education costs for our children.

I come from fishing community that lives in the shores of Lake Victoria, men are fishermen while women are mainly fish mongers. I chose farming since there's shortage in food production and many people are faced with acute hunger.

I love watching nettball, swimming, and meeting new people. in my free time I do visit my fellow community members and actively participate in development activities.
