My father died at the age of 7 with 2 siblings. I Started school at age 7 without any pre school and my life was never easy when i was growing up, I used to sell plantain, kenkey to pay for fees at the primary and junior high level and at the secondary school.My mum always encouraged me to study hard to overcome any challenges and l did exactly that up to teacher training and passed any exam that came my way. I was elected the women commissioner at BETCO of my perseverance. I was posted to this village and i have been here not less than 2 years. Any way I am married with two sons. The older 4 years and the little one 1 year four months. As a professional teacher, who always teaches the essence of hygiene and the outbreak of diseases such as cholera, it always breaks my heart to see members of the village fetching from this water.The unique thing about this land is that the people are always prepared to learn how to live the right way. I always read anything I come by and loves listening to music.
I am a professional teacher that i receive pay from the government, that is the service that i provide guidance and also teaching the right way. This is very important in this area because looking at the people here which have very limited sources to information. what i teach helps the children advise their parents so that it reduces the risk disease outbreak in the village. Building a well as a start for water source will be more hygienic than fetching from the same water cattle, cloths are washed in. The cost of this will be $200. This will go a long way in helping and reducing the disease outbreak here in the village.
with this $200 loan from zidisha, i am going to use it to dig a well so that my village would get a good and portable water, i know that the well is not the best but at least it is going to be better than we fetching from the ground where cattle also drink from. This is going to a start in the right direction because as we say water is life. Thank you
