I found out my HIV status in Form two

Phenny Awiti and her children

Phenny Awiti is a 25 year old single mother of two who is living with HIV. Despite facing rejection  from society and having to cope with the pain of a marriage that did not work out, she has boldly taken up the mantle of raising her kids and offering hope to other people. Here is her story.  

As a young girl, I always had the best dream in life just like any other person-to have a good education and start my own family when I grow up. As I faced each day, I had this one fear, and that was contracting HIV/Aids. I know it is something that many people in society dread. The thought of it gave me jitters, not knowing that one day I would be faced with the same predicament.
