About Me

I am Margaret Akoth, I grew up in a single parent headed family, we were six children living with our mother who didn't have a stable source of income. My father was a polygamist and opted to stay away from the family, absconding his duty as the head of the family. my mother was a stay at home mum. I went through my education and later dropped out due to teenage pregnancy. After leaving formal schooling, I joined a vocational skills course on hair care and beauty and graduated with a Certificate in beauty therapy.

I got married at the age of 18, I started my business of hair care and it helped me to raise money to meet the family obligations of food, shelter, clothing, medical and education when my husband was in College. In my Mbita community, women are not economically empowered though most of the households are headed by women.

I have four daughters and two sons. My eldest daughter has completed High School and the 2nd born daughter is a 3rd year in high school. The eldest want to be a nurse and my youngest son wants to be a pilot.

I like watching and visiting friends in my free time.
