Standing Tall on Sinking Ground-Rasoha Wirukha, 64yrs. Kaimosi-Vihiga | Ep 27.


 In which area of life have you been most successful and comfortable to share with the world about? Personal determination

What inspired you to pursue this journey, and how did you overcome initial challenges? I had children whom I was the primary breadwinner to and had to take care of them. I prayed to God for strength with the knowledge that it was by his will that I be in union and have a family. That was my motivation to push on.

Please share a significant moment or decision that played a significant role in your success? There was a day I decided to travel to Nairobi to look for employment as my husband did and was residing and upon arrival I found him in a devastating state and the narrative about the city changed for me and I decided to return back home. My understanding prior to the visit was that the city had better living conditions but afterwards I returned to my rural home and started farming and slowly made ends meet. I was able to take care of myself, the children, my mother in law and my sister in law without any support from others. The mercy and grace of God led my husband to return home and the house he left disorganized now was shining and in harmony. I can smile because my marriage came back to a strong foundation once again.

How do you navigate work-life balance and maintain your well-being amidst the success? I work hard in everything that I do with the knowledge that good tides will come my way. I ensure that I pray for my family and dedicate them before God. I go to the farm daily to do some cultivation and this ensures my independent survival and my family’s wellbeing.

What advice would you give to aspiring women on a similar journey or who dream of the same kind of success? I would tell women to have resilience, be Prayerful, work hard and to use their God given opportunities to provide for their families. This will make them achieve personal joy and fulfilment and make their families lives better.

 In the face of setbacks, how do you stay resilient and continue to thrive in your journey? I am a Christian and this gives me a chance to pray whenever I am in despair. I seek advice from my loved ones and I keep a strong heart and mind when encountering challenges.
