I Finally Landed a Ksh 350K Job After Digging Toilets and Graves for 15 Years, University Graduate Reveals
For 15 years, I did work that many would call the hardest labor in the world. I dug toilets and graves, rain or shine, in towns across Kenya.
I am a university graduate, but after completing my studies, I could not find a formal job. My dream of having a decent career and earning a stable salary seemed impossible, and my family often wondered why I continued hoping for something better.
Every day was a struggle. The physical labor left my body aching, but the mental strain was even worse. I would look around at the houses, cars, and lives of my peers and feel a pang of envy mixed with despair. Despite all this, I never gave up. I kept applying for jobs, sending out my CV, and praying that someday, all my hard work and patience would pay off.
My husband, who supported me through everything, faced his own challenges. He worked in a small kiosk, barely making enough to meet the household needs. Our financial situation was tight, and there were times when we could barely afford basic groceries. Despite this, he encouraged me to keep going and reminded me that my education and perseverance would eventually open doors.
