Jeska is a Ugandan national born in the Rhino Camp area in 1972. Growing up near the Nile River, she moved inland to Olojobu after her marriage. She has 7 children, and farms 8 acres of land with her husband.

Some of this land was gifted to the sub-county which is now the site of Olojobu Primary School.
