Asunta Wagura's HIV story
Asunta was diagnosed with HIV in 1988, a time when such a diagnosis was viewed as a death sentence and attracted stigma.
Rejected by family and friends, she was tossed onto the harsh streets of Nairobi, where she had to start from scratch.
Not the type to give up, she teamed up with friends and started KENWA (the Kenyan Network of Women with AIDS), an organisation to help fellow HIV patients.
The World Health Organisation reports that through KENWA, over 10,000 people received basic foodstuffs, bed management, and care.
