Her story

Diana comes from a family of 7 and she is the second born child. Her mother is widow and her father passed on when she was very young. Her mother is the only soul bread winner and doesn’t have a stable formal employment to sustain the family. They depend on farming other people’s land during the planting season to earn a living to cater for their need which is seasonal. Diana has a two-year baby girl and she dropped out of school in class 7 when she was 16 years old. She was constantly repeating in school because of lack of school fees as most of the time she was been sent home because of school fess arrears. This explains why she was behind in terms of completing her education compared to her peers. Her journey has been tough and sad since she was taken in by the parents of her father’s daughter (who is was also a teenager) when she got pregnant. Due to constant frustration she left that place went back to her mother house after her daughter was 7months.It has been challenging for to raise her only daughter and it pushed her to join her mother in tilling other peoples land to fend for her daughter and sibling after she realized there is no other option left for her to pursue.
This program will help her gain skill for her to venture into her own business in future and earn an honest living for her child and help her younger siblings get education.
