The 22-year-old Kenyan said that his life journey began when he finished Form Four in 2018 and could not further his education due to unavailability of funds.

Agata resorted to choosing the option of looking for odd jobs, so he left the village to search for opportunities in Nairobi.

“He asked whether I would accept the job and I said yes even though the distance was too long for me because I stay in Githurai 44 and the assignment was on Kiambu road,” he said.

He explained that things were so tough that he would have chosen any job that came his way no matter the pay or on-job demands.
