Last week I attended an event in Guruve, where my manager Christine Gumunyu, runs a CSR project for Rift Valley (Northern Tobacco). We arrived just in time to hear a speech by a young lady who had her blazer buttoned up tight and a small tummy protruding. As she gave her well articulated speech, it made more sense. This girl turned out to be 14 years of age and was raped. She is now 7 months pregnant and stays with her grandmother who is struggling to take her through school already. After the event I could not help to see her talking to Christine with tears in her eyes. I did not hear the conversation, but I can imagine what her life is like now. All her friends were dancing to the latest songs and having a great time, but she sat and just watched throughout the show, blazer buttoned tight in the heat to somehow camouflage the growing tummy. This girl's life has changed forever and her surroundings are probably not going to make it any better. I had my first child at 21, albeit unprepared, but my family and friends made it a bearable experience, so what more at 14??
Why am I telling you this? On our way home from Guruve, Christine and I kept pondering how we can alleviate the situation. The damage has been done, the rapist is behind bars for 15 years, she gets to go on with school (thank God). Christine offered to get a scan done so that we know the sex of the baby as well as for her to experience the joy of motherhood and see a new life growing in her. T.D. Jakes in one sermon mentioned that no matter what circumstances you were born in, life is always a gift. I am therefore appealing to all of you to donate any baby clothes, toys, or whatever you think that she may need to make this process bearable. This girl is intelligent, well spoken and this I deduced from how well she spoke about her situation. I don't think I would have just gone to Guruve for no reason. Please help us make this girl's life more purposeful...and hopefully this is the start of a whole new project for us!!
