"It was draining, but I had to hold on for the sake of my babies," Mary shares.

Mary was supported by strangers

Mary acknowledged the support she received from other women, whom she called her "sisters."

Amidst the darkness, rays of light began to shine through the now-late Ruth Mbithi, who stepped in and sponsored a three-month course for her.

"The degree I had wasn't significant," Mary explains, adding that Ruth's kindness and support provided her a lifeline during her darkest days.

"I am lucky another opportunity for a research project came up in Rwanda and I managed to go," she said.

Four years later, Mary looks back with pride on her journey and is profoundly proud of herself for not giving up.

"I overcame all," she says proudly," I'm here looking like a Form Two girl. I call myself blessed and highly favoured of the Lord."
