Asunta stated that she is reaching her 60s yet feels more active and invigorated than ever before.
She stated that the girls have given her a new sense of purpose, and she is excited to see what the future holds.
“Life is full of surprises, and it’s never too late to pursue your dreams,” she continued, adding that she was proof that age is just a number,” said Asunta.
She encourages others to embrace the unexpected and expresses gratitude to the two little princesses for their positive impact on her life.
Asunta was diagnosed with HIV in 1988, when such a diagnosis was considered a death sentence and carried stigma.
She was abandoned by her family and friends and forced to start over on the harsh streets of Nairobi.
Not one to give up, she teamed up with friends to form KENWA (the Kenyan Network of Women with AIDS), an organization dedicated to assisting other HIV sufferers.
According to the World Health Organization, KENWA provided basic meals, bed management, and care to over 10,000 people.
