  • This is the reality of the class devide in kenya. the opposition parties attempts to decentrise wealth are unsupported by the West and strongly oppossed by the rulers. The West failed to support the outcome of democratic election results and are instead supporting the corrupt government that forcuses on the rich and a particular tribe ignoring Mwananchi who works so hard to contribute to the economy as They CANNOT AFFORD a ONE MILLION fund raising Lunch

  • Tragic!

  • @equinoxa easier said than done. These women probably have no acess to birth control, and as for the husband, what are you going to do when he comes home and beats the crap out of you or rapes you. How are you going to get rid of him. No police or government welfare system will be there for you.

  • the lady is really strong! after giving birth, she was right up on her feet! The husband is really so irresponsible! I wonder how they engage in those activities with so many kids around..

  • The idiotic wife of Kenya's President, Lucy Kibaki, promotes the non use of condoms, stating that they help the spread of AIDS! Also, Muslim clerics in Kenya are campaining to stop the the distribution of free condoms. With bafoons like these running the country what hope do the common people have?

  • shut up american cunt

  • they learn how they do sex so they must know what happens if they have sex... it does not take brain science.

  • should all be educated to use condoms

  • I seriously don't understand why you could have 8 kids while you are so poor.

    BTW: Many government give out condoms for free, especially in poorer countries.

  • they dont have the education or condoms to stop having kids its so sad sex is really the only thing they have that feels good

  • this is so sad and bleak omg, if i was in this situation after a couple of kids i would have sewed myself up shut and never had sex again, seriously! and that deadbeat husband he would be history. id get the scissors out whenever he came around looking for free sex!

  • This is soooo tuching that you are doing this three cheers for you!!!!!
