Starfish: Dativa and Agnes

My name is Dativa and I am 35 years old. I live with my husband and children. My education level is Standard Seven (grade 6). I wanted to be a part of GHTA because I know it is a golden chance because with more education I get more opportunities. After starting GHTA it was difficult because I am old and I have a family which is a problem because there are many responsibilities. The most difficult job I ever had was walking a long way by foot to take potatoes from the farm and sell them in town. After GHTA, I hope to open my own food store and be a professional entrepreneur. 

My name is Agnes Peter. I am 46 years old. I live in a family of five people. I am a mother in the family. My education level is Standard Seven (grade 6). I wanted to go to GHTA because I wasn’t learning for a long time. I’m here now and I am happy. Before GHTA I was cutting firewood for cooks. My challenges, my son cannot go to school because I don’t have school fees. I plan to use my education to open a salon business. My dream for the future is to work hard and have my family live well. Because I am a widow I have to work hard and change my life. Thank you.
