“Growing up, we were brought up by a single mother of 6 who is so much passionate and believes in education and will do anything legally to pay our school fees, so we decided to make her full dream come true. We saw her starving several times because she had to feed and pay double fees at every stage all alone.”

Erica said that she and her twin wanted to make their mum happy. Asked how they survived financially since they were both schooling simultaneously, she said they supported each other and also relied on their mother, who helped them through it all.

“So we drew an inspiration from her and supported each other both mentally and financially whenever the need arose so we could keep making her dream come true.”
