We own a small piece of land which we injerited from my father but it has cannot fully sustain the family's needs. I am a talented athlete and I enjoy long-distance races. i dream of being a professional athlete in future and helpo get rid of poverty.

I come from a pastrolist community but over theyears we have had to diversify our means of income. My father works as a security person in a nearby homestead and my mother runs a small grocery shop to supplement my father's income. I am the first to attend high school in my family and it means a lot to me. I hope to inspire my younger sibling and hopefully, other girls in my community.
