What is my story?
I’m Ruth Njeri, 39 yrs old from Juakali Marurui slums in Roysambu sub-county (Nairobi county).I was born and raised in Juakali for the last 39 yrs , lack of pads drove me to school dropout, early pregnancy, drugs and alcohol addict, STI’s, stealing graduating into a robber. l was a regular visitor at police stations and Langata women’s Prison where l suffered for 4 yrs , many of my accomplices died of guns, mob justice , HIV/AIDS and TB which many of them were transmitted in prisons through sodomy , my daughter’s dad died of gun shots while on a mission to steal at Windsor golf club . When l gave birth l got myself another boyfriend from the same gang who would treat me like an animal cause of lack of trust, l now have scars everywhere in my body including my buttocks, l also have a gunshot which l miraculously escaped alive from, I’m a testimony of second chances hence my story and this home.
