The life of Josephine seemed to come to an end the moment her husband died in 1997 AUGUST with 7 children ranging between the age of and 15 years she could not imagine that it would be possible to take care of the children given that the family members of her husbands,that's late brothers,sisters and other in laws of Josephine were now claiming their brothers properties which were in millions here in Kenya and abroad in united states.
Life prooved to be a living hell until Josephine came to meet one woman by the name Susan a lawyer from Nairobi who gave her the idea of sueing the inlaws in court and fighting for her rights.This seemed a right idea which Josephine immediately executed given that she had been legally married to her late husband.

Luis Muninga is my name. i am a form two student at Muringu High school. During last term a certain organization called APHIA II came to our school and educated us on Drug and alcohol abuse for a period of one week. We did get a lot of information which our parents had even never told us. The effects of drug abuse and alcohol to an individual, to family, to community and finally the nation were also addressed. We were told on how to avoid these vices and save our lives. At the end of the whole practice, we had actually learnt alot. Few of the students who had secretly involved themselves in these vices rehabilitated and their conditions improved. I can say we were really transformed.
