FROM NOTHING TO SOMETHING.

        Atieno was left an orphan by the death of her mother at birth. Her father had passed away a few months after her conception in a tragic road accident on his way back home from work.

        She was raised up by her grandmother until the age of 5 years. As if fate was following her whenever she went, her only grandmother whom she knew as her mother also passed away leaving her at the mercy of her uncles and their wives. She suffered rejection in their hands, she was never sent to school but was being treated as a servant. A lady who was a neighbour came to heat of her story  felt sorry and decided to offer help to her.

        She arranged and took her to her home as her guardian, she organised and enrolled her to a local primary school until she completed her normal studies and later pursued accounts in a local college.

        After completing her course, she landed a government employment with a package. Just recently she had a big colourful wedding and is happily married. Thanks to her guardian who doubled up as her mother who made her dreams come true.
