After completing secondary education my late father suffered from stroke and most of the family resours was used to get him unfortunately he passed on.since he was the sole bread winner the future looked bleak. my siblings had to drop from school since there was no money to keep them in school. I decided to do anything possible to help my family, I borrowed $70 from a friend and used the money to train in cloth making and design at my mum friends tailoring shop in kakamega town.After completing my training due to my hard work and excellent work the school retained me to train others. with $50 salary ,atleast I could help my family put food on the table.
