Published on May 11, 2021, a remarkable story of perseverance and determination has emerged from Rongo, Migori County, where a 30-year-old mother of five has achieved a Grade C plain in the 2020 KCSE results.
Rehema Anyango, a student at St. Peter Ofuonga School, has defied the odds to achieve academic success, despite the numerous challenges she faced as a mother of five.
Anyango, who sat for her exams during the day and left her children with her mother-in-law, says that she had to balance her studies with her responsibilities as a mother.
“I’m a mother of five and that did not stop me from going back to school. I had a dream that one day, I will go back to school and achieve my dream of becoming a professional agricultural officer,” she narrated to Ghetto Radio News.
Her husband, Maurice Ochola, congratulated her on her achievement and promised to allow her pursue further studies.
“It is a joy to us as Ocholla’s Family, she was hardworking though there were challenges. At some point she fell sick in form two but at long last she has made it. Now we are just planning on her agricultural course which she likes most,” said Ochola.
