overcoming stigma, raising awareness
 
2. Mrs Rhoda Magure: being hiv+, overcoming stigma, raising awareness
An abandoned mother in her twenties, Rhoda is HIV-positive, struggling to get by in a Nairobi slum. “Six years down the line,” she says, “my family has not accepted me, not my mother or sisters or husband. I’ve lost jobs because I’m positive.” She also lost an infant daughter to AIDS, but her 10-year-old son ― conceived before Rhoda got infected ― is negative. John is a bright, healthy boy who loves drawing and soccer. His mom tries to keep healthy, too. “I want to see my son grow up.” 
Rhoda does not take ARVs but when sickness strikes, AJAN helps with hospital bills. From time to time, Catholic AIDS programmes invite Rhoda to tell groups the story of her difficult life, explaining her HIV status and encouraging young people to live well and to avoid the mistakes which lead to infection. She recently spent a week at the Youth Alive / Education for Life conference here in Nairobi.
 
Rhoda is grateful for the assistance but seeks something more. “Myself, I am young, I want to have a future even if I didn’t finish elementary. I want my son to be someone.” Unable to do physically demanding work, she stands little chance of finding someone to hire her. But recently she had an enterprising idea. The landlords in her slum refuse to provide water, telling abject tenants to find it for themselves. So, with AJAN’s help, she bought a storage tank and a pump and set up a water business. Things are going well, and she is paying back nearly 2% a month.
