Some lives don’t have room for pause. Nyakio knew that all too well.

One moment, she was travelling home from the biggest catering job of her life. The next, hospital machines were beeping, her room was painfully white, and her body no longer responded the way it used to. A car accident had changed everything—taking a life, injuring her team, and leaving Nyakio paralysed from the waist down.

But Nyakio’s story didn’t start there.

She was a teenage mother who worked her way up from cleaning hospital floors, doing mjengo jobs, and working as a domestic help—until she learned how to cook, built a catering business from scratch, and put her children through school. Even when everything changed, her responsibilities didn’t.

Because she had planned ahead, Nyakio didn’t have to face this chapter alone. The Absa Ultimate Protector Plan helped ease her transition—supporting her healthcare needs, protecting her income, and ensuring her children stayed in school.

Life can change in an instant. Planning ahead can make all the difference.

“Wait, mum. What’s culture?” Asked the daughter.

“Culture? Where did you hear that from?” Hannah asked so that she could get a better context, which would guide her explanation.

“Daddy said in our culture, men get to eat the drumsticks and the gizzards. I really wanted to eat one drumstick for dinner,” said Hannah’s daughter.

“Oh, I’ll explain it tomorrow; someone needs to sleep now because tomorrow is still a school day,” Hannah responded. She was buying herself time to calm down.

She served herself dinner and ate quietly. Tom also ignored her presence and watched the TV at a high volume. Hannah left him and went to bed.

The following morning was a typical morning in their household. The nanny prepared the daughter for school as Hannah prepared for work. As she was leaving, the nanny gave her a list of things that needed replenishing.

“Oh, na caretaker alikuwa anakutafuta. Aliwacha hii karatasi,” said the nanny as she handed Hannah a rent arrears notice.

“Tom, why hasn’t rent been paid for the past three months?” Hannah stormed into their bedroom.

“I told them I would take care of it,” said Tom.

“I am now taking care of most of our daughter’s school needs, the food in this house, and you also want me to pay the rent?” Hannah asked him angrily.

“You also live in this house,” said Tom.
