NAIROBI, KENYA: Born in a humble background and in a family of four in Siaya County’s Chula-Imbo, she had no option other than drop out of school at form two to face life in Kitengela, Kajiado County. She had been invited by a friend.
While in Katengela, she joined the band-wagon of mjengo guys for their daily earnings. It is never an easy job, especially for a woman, but she pushed on, preparing and lifting the concretes, for one year. That was in 2010.
