The father of three explained that he works tirelessly to pay his children’s school fees and support his wife, who lives in the village with their children.
“I live in Huruma area and pay KSh 2,500 for rent. My wife takes care of the children back in the village, where they study, as I look for money to pay the bills. I did not go to high school, but my children have to study. They are very bright. My 16-year-old is currently at home because of school fees,” he said.
Shiksha later took Antony to a mall, where they had lunch as he opened up about his life, his struggles and the sacrifices he has made for his family.
He shared that his wife had been a pillar of strength, encouraging him to keep pushing despite the challenges. Antony also revealed that he does not drink alcohol and remains focused on working hard for his family.
