My Life in Africa Reports: By Alanyo Alice

My name is Alanyo Alice, a responsible lady who has 03 children by birth and 04 children belonging to my late sister who died in 1999 with complication in the birth.

I am a married woman but lost my husband in 1998. He was a soldier and died in the DRC when he was for his duty leaving me a widow up to date.

I have never enjoyed life in my family since my husband died and left me to catter for the family, my life has been a hard one and with the challenges that I faced running the family, I under went through series of tense situations that some times could deny me personal happiness.

What is helping me to sustain my family is crafts work ie. making table cloth, bed lines and other things. This is helping me to sustain my family and pay school fees though not effectively.

I stopped in primary six from Lumuli Primary school in Busia in 1984 and got married in 1985.

What I like most are good life, good friends, and sharing ... and what I hate most is conflict and poverty.
