My Story

Village with my parents. My mother is Ajiambo Anishia, and my father is Onyango Francis. I have two siblings—a brother and a sister—and I am the second-born in our family. We live in a house with mud walls and an iron sheet roof.

At home, I help with many responsibilities, including fetching firewood, collecting water from the borehole, washing utensils, and cleaning the house and compound.

My parents are peasant farmers who earn very little from the crops they grow. Most of their small income is spent on meeting the family's basic and social needs.

They often struggle to pay school fees for me and my siblings. That is why I am seeking support—to continue my education and work toward achieving my dream.
