Had Priscilla Nasieku’s parents had their way and married her off at the age of 14, she would by now be a wife and a mother deep in a village in Samburu.
But those plans in 2016 never materialised thanks to the quick intervention of a local priest, and today Nasieku is hopeful of a bright future. Nasieku sat her Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exam last year where she scored B- and is looking forward to enrol in college later this year for a course in clinical medicine.
