HIV/AIDS prevalence has becomemhigh among economically-mproductive adults, and as a result, many of them are either incapacitated or have succumbed to the pandemic, thus leaving behind a large number of orphans. Older people mostly aunties and grandparents who may not have the strength and means are now assuming the care giver’s role for their sick family members.
The journey doesn’t end there; they also assume the responsibilities of taking care of the orphans left behind later after the sick has departed. Perhaps the most trying thing is that of educating these offspring. However, not all hope is lost. Fanis, a 12 year old Girl in Kibera slums is living positively in a situation that many still don’t understand, and with vigour, she still wants to pursue her education until she becomes a community Nurse to help those women who are living positively in the slums. A worthy dream indeed.
