Nairobi; Kenya: For the last eight years, Everline Ochieng, a single mother of two, has known only one business: Fish mongering. The business sustains her life, that of her two children and her ailing mother who is back in the village.
In those eight years, Everline who lives in Kangemi, Nairobi, has toiled hard each day to make ends meet. She speaks of how life became hard when she lost her father while still in school. She says she took the blow and worked her way through it to take care of her family. It was never easy. "After I lost my father, it became a struggle to finish school. My mother also became sick. I had to stop schooling and as a first born, look for means to sustain our family. I knew my Form Two education would not get me a good job. But I could not give up. I just convinced myself that it would be a long struggle.''
