MARRIAGE AN ESCAPE FROM POVERTY


Due to ignorance and cultural beliefs, people think that HIV & AIDS is a curse which can be cleansed by witchdoctors in Kogelo  therefore  when they become ill they sell their property for teatment. After they eventually die they leave behind a poor homestead and vulnerable children who have no means of survival, these children would resortto prostitution in exchange of food, others would get married as third wives just to survive as they see marriage as a means to escape from poverty.
This is why mama Suzana decided to form a team of people within the community educate them about this and send them to the villages to educate them and create awareness of this big enemy that is robbing us our people.
