Determination Amidst Adversity: Meet Precious, the Bus Washing Mother of Three

In the bustling Market Square terminus, amidst the rumble of departing buses and the chatter of commuters, one woman stands out with her unwavering determination and resilience. Meet Precious, affectionately known as Mai Lameck, a single mother of three who has taken on the daunting task of providing for her family by washing buses.

Her journey into this unconventional profession began after a challenging divorce left her struggling to make ends meet for her children. Undeterred by the hardships, Precious stepped into the role of a bus washer, initially sweeping inside the buses to earn a living. Her determination and grit caught the attention of bus drivers who were quick to offer her work.

However, her path was not without obstacles. Facing skepticism and jealousy from some male counterparts in the industry, Precious stood her ground against unfounded accusations and doubts about her abilities. Despite facing rejection and refusal for assistance at times, she persevered, driven by her unwavering commitment to her children’s well-being.
