Wanja is an elderly woman. She had four children and they all died of HIV leaving her with three grandchildren who are between the age of 5 to 12 years .Apparently two of the kids got infected with HIV and Wanja has to take them to the hospital every month for treatment.
She doesn’t have a job and so she is forced to work in people’s farms in order to earn some money to support her grandchildren. The money she earns is not enough therefore she also depends on Hilfe fuer Nyeri for food and medication for her grandchildren.
