Life has never been so tough, so challenging. I have come to regret my chores in life especially with regards to issues of life partaining sacrifice and dedication to what matters most. more so being responsible and putting first things first. I had no one in life to help me live responsibly after losing my parents a few years ago. I lived a careless life after desparing and losing hope. I was taken to school by my grand parents who had little control over me. I entertained bad company and before I realized I was pregnant expecting a baby in 2010 while I was only 17. After I got this baby I realized why the wise men said in Swahili that " Mtoto akililia Wembe mpe" or " Majuto ni Mjukuu", both meaning that regret comes afterwards. Being a young mother its too hard to bear. Township Self Help Group therefore will live a lot in my minds as Saviours of my life. Through their encouragement and counselling, I have redressed my life with hope once more.

If for some of us who did not achieve so well in education and had almost lost hope in life, can now see the end of the tunnel is worth offering that the group approach avails much.
We have been able and will still go a step higher to achieve change in the community.
