Penina is 68 years old, has two children and four grandsons, and works as a farmer. Her husband passed away in 2022. Penina says she has been so uneasy many times over the years, worrying about the challenges she has faced around fetching water.
In 2018, Penina joined Wathini Deanery Women’s Group. She appreciates having friends who support her and being able to help other women. The group decided Penina should receive this month’s gift tank, and she could not believe it was hers. Finally, she was convinced! “I flashed back and saw how I trekked for water for so many years,” she says. Penina recalls how she would borrow a cart from her neighbor when possible so that she could haul three to four jerricans of water at a time. Then she would try to ration the water to avoid walking again that day. It was very stressful as she worried about providing enough water for her family.
Penina shares her incredible gratitude for this gift: “Now I feel really relieved from this burden. Bravo, Path From Poverty. This is quite unbelievable. Accept my big appreciation. This is very great devotion. It has overtaken my heart. Be blessed, blessed!”
