Beauty Against Jiggers

Country:Kenya

Description: Beauty comes with responsibility, whether at a personal or beyond. Cecilia Mwangi, Miss World Kenya 2005 has devoted her limelight-life to fighting a somewhat disregarded health menace that has afflicted Kenya’s poor families leaving them helpless and unproductive: jiggers. Jiggers as they be are a result of poor hygiene and poverty according to this beauty queen who has since established a trust for the anti jigger campaign called AHADI (Swahili translation for ‘hope’) Kenya Trust. In this story, we accompany Cecilia to a poor area in Kenya’s Eastern Province.
