Scholastica Achieng has lived in Kibera for 26 years, raising her six children alone after separating from her husband 10 years ago. Her children include Clifford and Edgar, both Form 4 graduates, and Timothy, who is attending university. Damaris (16) is in Form 3, Reagan (11) is in Grade 5, and Milan (9) is in Grade 3. Scholastica is proud of their academic achievements despite limited resources. She works tirelessly to provide for her family, often facing the harsh reality of skipping meals due to insufficient income. Her monthly earnings of about $70 barely cover basic needs. Scholastica's daily struggle involves making tough choices between paying school fees and buying food. Despite these challenges, her unwavering determination and hope for a better future for her children keep her going.
