At just 17 years old, Sharon became a mother. She never planned for this, nor did she wish for it, but life’s hardships led her down a path she couldn’t escape.
Sharon’s childhood was far from easy. Her father’s alcoholism tore her family apart, and by the time she was just five years old, her mother had no choice but to leave, carrying the weight of raising her children alone. Every day was a battle, her mother took on casual labor in the village, barely making enough to put food on the table. A second meal in a day was a rare luxury. Whatever little she earned had to be stretched, rent, school fees, food, and medical care all competing for the same few coins.
With no financial stability at home, Sharon dropped out of school in primary six. Without an education, her opportunities were limited. She found work in small local restaurants, earning just enough to survive. Desperate for stability and support, she placed her hope in a relationship, one she thought would bring security. Instead, at 17 years old, she found herself pregnant and abandoned, left to fend for herself and her newborn baby.
